truly global, the potential returns – both f inancial and politic al – are huge and as a result football
has at trac ted investment from private investors, state-run organisations or sovereign funds. With
the global ownership of the game widely spread and new investors seeking to get in on the ac tion,
at Soccerex Europe we will gather owners and investment exper t s to look at what the future of
football investment holds; where the nex t wave of investors will come from, what returns they can
expec t in the modern environment and what impac t they are having on the proper ties they own.

Modern football coaching, like modern busines s, is heavily reliant on the collec tion and analysis

– whether that is through the formations used on the pitch or the technology used on the
training ground. Where once this willingness to embrace technology was what distinguished a
m o d e r n a p p r o a c h t o p l a y e r d e v e l o p m e n t , n o w i t i s c o m m o n p l a c e; t o d a y i t i s t h e s o p h i s t i c a t i o n

t ac tic al f lexibilit y and man - management that make progres sive coaches s t and out. At Soccerex
Europe through a mix ture of insight presentations and exper t panel discussions we will analyse
the charac teristic s of a modern coach and delve into the technologies and innovations that are
supporting their work.
