The company was founded in 2001 by Alessandro Moggi, after he had spent a decade working as a sport entrepreneur and manager.[2]
In 2006, the company was investigated for "illegal competition with use of threats and violence" in relation to the 200 players it had on its books. The allegations included pressure from the company to team coaches over team selection.[3]
In January 2013, after several years of athlete management, Gea World dramatically changed direction. It transitioned from managing players to instead offering consultations within sport systems, event organization, image management, marketing and corporate social responsibility.
