AND PLANS MIAMI RELOCATION
“Take care of the game and the business will take care of itself”
It is this ethos, implemented for the first time in 1996 and carried since, that has ensured Soccerex kept its position as the number 1 (one) global football business event.
Now entering our 27th year of operations, we have hosted 49 Soccerex’s in 21 Cities around the world, welcoming over 75,000 delegates and provided the industry’s leading professionals with a variety of formal and informal networking platforms, helping them to build, sustain and strengthen relationships within football globally.
Our events have taken us from Wembley to the Copacabana, South Africa to Miami Beach and then, for the first time in 2020, online for our first global digital events, the Soccerex Connected trilogy.
Football legends past and present, senior club executives, thought leaders, global brands and students of the game have all attended Soccerex Events down the years and a large percentage of them are regular attendees, or Soccerex Family members as we call them, whether the roadshow has taken us to Europe, Asia, Africa, The Middle East or the Americas.

As you would imagine, Soccerex events have allowed us to collect an amazing amount of footage over the last 25 years – though we imagine that the technology used to record our memorable moments may have changed a little!
Media partners, agencies, broadcasters, sports journalists, OTT platforms and even our competitors have all shared our content.
Film documented at Soccerex events includes; the game’s stakeholders networking with our clients, legends of the game and football executives alike being interviewed and quoted by outlets around the world and our partners’ brand’s being exposed to a truly global football business audience – all captured in truly memorable locations.
Soccerex TV gives your club, federation, organisation or host city the opportunity to film broadcast production quality interviews, webinars, announcements and round table discussion platforms, broadcasted to our audience of football business professionals around the world.
In addition, through unique media partnerships and distribution relationships on a global basis, we can distribute this content internationally, by region or in specific countries – with full translation services available.

Produced using our unrivalled 27 years of experience as the leading global organisation in the football business and our extensive network of partners and supporters, this September, Soccerex launches Soccerex TV – Football business television.
The longer-term concept was born out of a more immediate necessity when our physical events were placed on hold due to COVID19 and we moved our conference into the virtual world.
After some initial concern that our business may not be able to replicate what it does best online, the results spoke for themselves, with over 6,000 registering to attend from over 100 countries across the three instalments of the “Soccerex Connected” series’, which attracted over 300 speakers, commercial support from around the globe and generated over 1.7m engagements on twitter.
Constructed with, by and for the executives that lead the beautiful game off the pitch, Soccerex TV is available on a dedicated football business Youtube channel, across social media and globally distributed via a network of media partners.
You can enjoy exclusive content including thought leadership interviews, debates, round table discussions, news, product launches and case studies. Topics will be wide ranging, and you will be entertained with a myriad of focused discussions, such as the operational and financial elements to football club efficiency, fan engagement, sponsorship, stadium management, training ground secrets of success, injury recovery and analytics to name a few.
With each episode ranging from 30-45 minutes in length, the format will be detailed but precise, ensuring that audience attention is gained and then kept, as we hear from the leaders within the sports industry on their areas of expertise.
We realise that it is one thing producing great content but ensuring that it is delivered to the desired audience is just as, if not more important, especially to our sponsors and commercial partners.
Over the last 27 years, we have developed an extensive network of media partners that regularly attend our events, share our social content, and produce articles and sound bites from the content that we produce.
These include magazines, websites, news outlets and TV channels from around the globe, with over 40 of them attending our most recent event in Miami in March of this year. Soccerex TV will utilise these relationships and add additional distribution platforms to ensure our content achieves maximum impact.

Football has changed in the 26 years that we have been involved in the game, especially in the way that information and news is consumed, by fans and those that work in the game alike.
Soccerex provides platforms including thought leadership driven industry insight, reports, and content with and on behalf of our partners from around the world.
There will always be a place for what Soccerex has traditionally stood for; meeting clients, friends (and sometimes foes!) in a unique setting to talk football business face to face, however we also recognise the thirst that must be quenched for Insight and updates regarding the beautiful game on an ongoing basis, due to its fast pace and ever evolving nature.
Our Insight platform offers a unique and exclusive opportunity to work with Soccerex, enabling you to speak directly with our world-wide football audience in an engaging, thought provoking and influential manner, driven by multiple digital formats that are designed to encourage maximum interaction and ROI for our partners.
Press releases, video, interviews, case studies, reports and white papers can all be shared to our global audiences, produced by you, or in partnership with the Soccerex content team.

The Soccerex Connected Trilogy
In March 2020 the whole world was affected by the COVID19 pandemic, and the events industry was turned upside down.
We had to find a way to move Soccerex into the digital space, whilst continuing to provide best in class content, thought leadership, networking, and business opportunities in the world of football, and fast.
There were several challenges to rise to, with a core focus on delivering the standard of event that our attendees over the last 25 years had become accustomed to, whilst providing a networking platform to ensure that the global football business community kept communicating, sharing knowledge, and introducing technology-based applications and services that were being rolled out in the games most troubling period in history.
In under 11 months, three Soccerex Connected events were delivered to over 6,500 attendees from 100+ Countries, who helped to generate over 1million social media impressions, whilst soaking up 60+ hours of content that featured over 300 speakers and exchanging 30,000+ messages.

Social media management is a full time job, hence why many clubs, associations and brands employ teams of people, in order to ensure that they are not only up do date in the football world news-wise, but in an attempt at leading the way in several key areas including; audience growth, content sharing, interaction and most importantly, ROI.
Some organisations outsource this mammoth task to an external agency, investing substantial amounts of money, in addition to time spent on briefings etc.
There are many wonderful agencies – from organisations with creative offices all around the globe servicing thousands of clients, to one-man bands working with a small and select number of niche clients.
We have worked with and respect both, but we are also confident that whichever agency you chose to outsource this crucial area of your business to, they wouldn’t understand the inner workings of social media management AND football, having extensive experience and contacts in both areas – I mean, how could they?
Outsourcing your social media management to Soccerex Social will ensure that your Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and Instagram audiences are non bot built by double-industry experts, each platform sharing insight via professional standard, “on brand” posts, focused on generating interaction and driving an increase in web traffic, clients/customers and ROI.
This can be done for time specific campaigns, during events or trade shows and on a long-term contract basis. To enquire about Soccerex Social,
