Trade in Sports is a Swedish crowd investing company in the growing sport investment industry. We are running an online exchange system for sport investments, TradeInSports.com, which is unique in the world of sports. On TradeInSports.com, individuals and companies make crowd investments in e.g. football players, golf players and racing horses, supporting athletes while standing a chance to gain profits. Our service makes it possible for the best athletes, regardless of means, to train and become champions in the sports they love and for sport fans to get behind the scenes of the sport world.
