Albanian Sports Ambassador (ASA) honours Albanian athletes and coaches for the first time for their outstanding achievements abroad. The nominees of the respective categories were announced at the press conference on 04.09.2018. Albanian athletes have proven their skills all over the world. The awards are linked to prize money for social projects, with a focus on development work with children and young people.

VITA

At the start of his self-employment in 1986, sponsoring hardly existed in any noteworthy form. Until the EXPO ´92 in Seville, where he headed the VIP area of the German Pavilion, he concentrated mainly on national sponsoring, marketing and the organisation of sports and music projects. This was followed by several international engagements, which to this day allow him to draw on a wealth of experience from almost a hundred countries.

As CEO of Presented By GmbH, a sports business agency with offices in Berlin and Monaco, he accompanies companies, clubs and investor groups in their search for the right brands and markets. Step by step he also built up an international testimonial pool of celebrities from sports, film, music and art.

He has also been consulting athletes for over twenty years. His first client was the incumbent European football champion Thomas Helmer, who still trusts him today. In addition to numerous football greats, he now also looks after leading athletes of other sports such as the NHL superstar Leon Draisaitl.
