About

Bundled is a Dutch hybrid football and esports agency that started in 2008 and has grown from a specialist FIFA esports organisation into a boutique football management operation focused on technically gifted midfielders and defenders. On the esports side they manage dozens of pro players and run content, events and studios, while the football arm currently represents 11 mainly Dutch-developed prospects playing in the Eredivisie, Stars League, Kategoria Superiore and Dutch youth competitions. Their differentiator is the blend of traditional agency work with in-house content, social media and brand-building infrastructure that was originally built for esports and now increasingly benefits football clients.
