Mena 2025The Industry meets again
February 23rd - 25th 2025
Thank You
"Thank You for Joining Soccerex Miami 2024!"
Thank you once again for your participation and support. We look forward to welcoming you to future Soccerex events!
Cairo, Egypt, The home of "The Pharaohs"
Following the success of Soccerex Europe and Miami respectively in 2024, 2025 will see us host three large scale events for the first time since 2019.
The football business industry’s trifecta of major gatherings will begin with Soccerex MENA, in partnership with Sports Expo, taking place from February 23-25. This event will be hosted in Cairo, Egypt, the home of "The Pharaohs," the most successful national team in African Cup of Nations history.
For the past eight years, arguably the Premier League's standout player has been an Egyptian. Beyond his brilliance on the pitch, Mohamed Salah is a global icon and an exceptional ambassador for his country, serving as an inspiring role model for the next generation of African football superstars.
Providing a global platform for federations, leagues, clubs, legends, and leading brands from the region is something that we feel very strongly about, and we look forward to welcoming 2,200 guests from around the world to the capital city just after the turn of the year.
Egypt is a nation passionate about soccer, where the sport reigns supreme as the country's favourite by a wide margin. Many believe the fervour for the game rivals that of any place in the world. After your visit to Masr, we’re confident you’ll understand why we selected it as the 24th city to host our 54th event.
