Fondation Mercato

Fondation Mercato is dedicated to transforming yesterday's champions into tomorrow's talents by uniting recruiters, athletes, and partners. As a unique springboard for the professional reconversion of athletes, Fondation Mercato aims to mobilize all actors in the sports and employment sectors.

Fondation Mercato provides comprehensive support to athletes transitioning from their sports careers through a structured, fully-funded program. This includes personalized guidance from an independent recruiter, support from a mentor (a former high-level athlete), and access to inspiring ambassadors and partner companies. The foundation operates as a national, collective, and unifying movement.

Supported by the Mercato de l’Emploi network and its 600 recruiter-entrepreneurs, Fondation Mercato is affiliated with the Fondation du Sport Français, ensuring its institutional grounding and openness to patronage. Fondation Mercato collaborates with federations, clubs, and companies to offer athletes solid, humane, and forward-looking support. We invite the management of Fondation Mercato to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform to further enhance its visibility and impact.
