Amsterdam, Netherlands. Soccerex, the world’s leading football business platform, has today confirmed that Soccerex Europe will return to Amsterdam in May 2026, hosted once again at the iconic Johan Cruyff Arena.
The 2026 edition marks the third consecutive Soccerex Europe event in Amsterdam, reinforcing the city’s status as one of global football’s most influential hubs for innovation, governance, and commercial leadership. Following the success of previous editions, Soccerex Europe 2026 will bring together senior decision-makers from across the football ecosystem, including clubs, leagues, federations, investors, brands, and technology leaders.
Amsterdam’s rich football heritage and progressive outlook continue to make it the ideal home for Soccerex Europe. The event builds on the spirit of the previous editions, which proudly carried the tagline “Total Football’s Coming Home”, celebrating the city’s enduring influence on how the game is played, managed, and commercialised around the world.
Across two days, Soccerex Europe 2026 will feature a high-level conference programme, curated networking experiences, an international exhibitor showcase, and exclusive content produced for Soccerex TV. Key themes will include football governance, investment and ownership, commercial growth, infrastructure and stadia development, fan engagement, performance innovation, and the future of the global game.
The Johan Cruyff Arena once again provides a fitting stage for the event, offering a world-class venue at the intersection of elite sport, technology, and business.
