Founder

Birsen Berke

Birsen Berke founded Football Attaché after nine years spent between the law and professional football.

He began his career as a lawyer, working on contracts and negotiations. He then joined Fenerbahçe SK, first as Sports Coordinator and later as Technical Director, where he was responsible for the club's sporting planning and its dealings with clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Al-Hilal.

That combination of legal training and senior club experience is the basis of how we work today.
