Aspetar has received hundreds of athletes from various sports and specialties worldwide by facilitating immediate access to comprehensive healthcare services under one roof, from medical consultations and diagnosis to surgery, rehabilitation, and treatment.

Among the prominent players who benefited from Aspetar's services are Callum Wilson of the England and Newcastle United, Noah Lang, top scorer for the Dutch national team and PSV Eindhoven, Ismaël Bennacer of the Algerian national team and AC Milan, Slovakian player and Paris Saint-Germain star, Skriniar, Lucas Hernandez, Portuguese player Gonçalo Ramos, Marseille and Cameroonian national team player, Faris Mbombo, Tunisian Montassar Talbi of Lorient, Stuttgart's French player Zagadu, and Albert Lokonga, on loan from Arsenal to Sevilla.

Aspetar has also attracted numerous stars in other sports, including judo world champion Davlat Bobonov from Uzbekistan, Bosnian swimmer Lana Pudar, Algerian Olympic champion Kylia Nemour, and Algerian athletics champion Jamal Sedjati.
