We are Nogomet Group, a football management collective bridging the gap between the Asia Pacific and European markets.
/nɔɡɔmɛ́t/ noun. "Football" in Croatian.
Who we are
Croatia is a country of under four million people that keeps reaching the final stages of the World Cup. That is not luck. It is a development culture: technical detail, competitive intensity, and clubs that trust young players early.
Nogomet Group exists to open that culture to talent from the Asia Pacific, and to open Asia's fast-growing football economy to European clubs, coaches, brands and investors. We work on the ground in both regions, so every introduction we make is backed by people we know and standards we stand behind.

Our academy brand
Our development work is delivered through Croatian Football Academy (CFA) Asia. It brings the Croatian school of football to young players across the region, with UEFA-licensed coaching, competitive football and a direct pathway into the European game.
