Abdelrahman Kurdieh

Abdelrahman is one of the partners of Valiant Sports Group. Having played in high school and university for a short time, he has always had a passion for football from a young age. His favorite players are Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Ricardo Kaka and Andrea Pirlo.

These players are nurtured and eventually signed to the agency once they turn 18.
Ibrahim Salman
Partner
When Ibraham left school in 2004, he had to decide on whether to pursue a career in football, boxing or to continue his education. Ibraham chose the latter-most and went on to study chemistry at the University of London. During his studies, he continued playing semi-professional football while also becoming a key member of his team at AkzoNobel – evolving from scientist to sales manager. His favorite football players include Steven Gerrard, Fabio Cannavaro, Ronaldinho and Zidane. Ibraham works closely with Abdelrahman to develop club contacts and introduce agency players to clubs.
