Operating across borders creates challenges that go beyond logistics.
Deportivo Management works with clubs, leagues, federations, and other sports organizations across market development, charter and team travel, and international team and competition operations throughout the Americas.
-
We support professional clubs, leagues, tournaments, federations, collegiate conferences, and rights holders operating across the Americas.
Our work ranges from market development and partnerships to charter and team travel and international team and competition operations — particularly where cross-border projects require experienced coordination and local execution.
-
With an on-the-ground presence in Colombia and experience across 17 countries, we help sports organizations evaluate, develop, and execute opportunities in Latin America.
Our work can include market and opportunity assessment, partnership development, training camps and events, government and federation coordination, facility and venue evaluation, and local partner alignment.
We combine local market knowledge and relationships with an understanding of international sports standards - helping organizations determine what is viable, build the right local connections, and move from opportunity to execution.
-
We support international team and competition operations from early planning through final departure.
Depending on the program, this can include team base camps and training sites, hotels and team servicing, ground transportation, arrivals and departures, match and venue coordination, equipment and local vendors, and bilingual on-site support.
Our experience across major international sporting events helps us coordinate these moving pieces under one structure - giving clients one accountable point of coordination throughout the operation.
-
Yes. Team charter coordination is a core part of our work.
We support professional teams, leagues, and sports organizations with domestic and international charter movements, from aircraft sourcing and routing through airport operations, ground handling, catering, and on-site execution.
Our approach is shaped by years of managing team travel from the client side, with an understanding that the aircraft is only one part of a successful movement.ription
-
We approach charter from the team services side of sport, with firsthand experience managing international team movements and understanding how travel affects preparation, performance, and the overall team experience.
Rather than focusing only on aircraft sourcing, we remain directly involved in execution - coordinating carriers, airports, crews, ground handling, catering, and on-site operations around the needs of the team.
Our role is to serve as the operational bridge between the aircraft and the team, with a focus on continuity, accountability, and long-term relationships rather than transactional volume.
-
Both. We can manage an end-to-end program or support a specific part of the operation, depending on the organization’s needs.
Some clients engage us for a single requirement, such as charter coordination, training facilities, ground transportation, or local market support. Others rely on us to coordinate multiple elements under one structure.
Our role is flexible: provide experienced support where it is needed while maintaining clear ownership and accountability throughout the engagement.
-
We work across North and Latin America, with an active presence in both the United States and Colombia.
Our network and experience extend across 17 countries, allowing us to support projects that require coordination across different markets, operating environments, and local partners.
Colombia is a particular area of focus, where our on-the-ground presence provides direct access to the sports, business, and institutional relationships needed to develop and execute projects locally.
-
All engagements are led directly by Andres Betancur.
With nearly two decades of international team and event operations experience, Andres remains actively involved from planning through execution, providing continuity and accountability throughout the engagement.
Depending on the scope, Deportivo Management scales each project with experienced operational personnel and local partners across transportation, venues, team services, security, aviation, and other specialized areas.
-
Initial conversations are exploratory and focused on understanding your objectives, timing, and operational needs.
From there, we can determine where Deportivo Management can add the most value - whether supporting a single charter movement, developing an opportunity in a new market, or managing a broader international program.
