Magate Group is preparing for a new phase of its operations, building on its history in football representation, player management and transfer facilitation.

Led by FIFA-licensed Nigerian-Canadian football agent Segun Ogunbayo, the agency has represented several notable Nigerian footballers, including former Super Eagles players Sunday Mba, Raheem Lawal, Azubuike Okechukwu and Olanrewaju Kayode.

Its history also includes facilitating the transfer of former Nigerian international Victor Anichebe to Chinese club Beijing Enterprises. Anichebe was part of Nigeria’s men’s football team that won the silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Over the years, Magate Group has worked across different aspects of player representation, including career management and facilitating opportunities for Nigerian footballers in overseas markets. Its portfolio reflects the role of football representation in helping players navigate professional opportunities and transfers across clubs and leagues.

As the agency prepares for its next phase, the planned rebrand will mark a new chapter in its development. The move is intended to strengthen Magate Group’s positioning and establish a clearer framework for its services and long-term ambitions.

Its future direction will place greater emphasis on structured player career support and development, extending beyond representation and transfer negotiations to include long-term planning and preparation for life after professional football.

The next phase will build on the agency’s experience in football representation while broadening its approach to player management and career development.
