Angeles Galaxy defender Abel Xavier has signed with Artist
International for representation in all areas, continuing the
Company's expansion of its sports division into emerging markets

"I am excited about this agreement. My priority is always
football/soccer. Mentally, physically -- I'm still very strong and
focused and will continue playing for a few more years. But I've
also arrived at a point in my career where I am looking forward to
expanding into new opportunities. After having been approached by
many companies, I decided to go forward in working with Artist
International and Hollywood Studios International because of the
global approach to both management and entertainment," said
Xavier.
"We are very excited to welcome Abel as part of the Artist
International family. Abel is a respected athlete around the world
and this union is significant due to our close relationship with
the Middle East, where he has a large and passionate following,"

"In any discussion of sports, entertainment, and globalization,
Abel Xavier represents the ideal international sports personality.
We feel his image and global identity will launch him beyond sports
