In its 25th year, Soccerex hosted its 49th major event — Soccerex Connected — a truly global conference, virtually bringing together the
very top football business leaders from around the world for one of 2020’s largest industry gatherings. Hosted entirely online, over 200,000
hours of content were consumed across 5 days, with panels, debate, and networking covering topics ranging from governance, media,
commercial, performance, stadia, and social issues — in the age of COVID-19, and beyond.

THE EMPIRE S TR IK ES BACK
The colonial world of European empires is gone - except
in football. The European game takes in raw materials from
around the world in the form of low cost, young players
and develops them and repackages them to sell back
to countrymen through merchandise and media rights.
Much like the system it reflects, how long can this model
continue before serious changes in talent and monetary
flows occur?

With progressively more multi-club groups launched and

MORE THAN MATCHDAY
Utilising a major asset such as a stadium to only make
money on 50 gamedays a year will not be an option as
the game looks to recover from a tough year. Given the
restrictions in place in many countries, what options exist
for stadium managers and operators? Meetings and
events? Concerts? Club museums? Here we will see which
of the many additional streams have been most stable and
successful for clubs of all sizes.

WAITING FOR M ONE Y BALL
It has been several years since we were promised that
the avalanche of data now available in our sport would
produce our very own Moneyball style disruption, where
the smaller clubs use data to buy smart and beat the big
guys, so why hasn’t it happened? Is football not as suited
to dissection by data? Is the wrong data being used? Or
has it happened first at the top of the game to maintain the
existing order?

WHO HA S THE L A S T WOR D?
Manager, Doctor, Physio, Performance Manager,
Nutritionist, Player. Nowadays, all are involved in the
maintainance and tuning of a high performance athletic
machine. But who has priority in decision making? And who
should? Have decision making structures been updated
to take account of the new realities of dealing with elite
sportsmen and women in football?

WHOSE R IGHT S ARE THE Y AN Y WAY?
In the now fragmented (shattered might be more accurate)
world of TV rights, is there a need for a revamp of the
system from the ground up? Policing is progressively more
difficult (thank you VPNs), the stars of the show have no
control over their own creations, fans are punished for
sharing certain content but desperately courted to share
others. How did we get here!

THE B ES T AND THE RES T
Sports rights in the 21st century have been rising rapidly
and constantly, but have we already seen the peak with
a more restricted economy bringing an end to that
era? Which rights packages are providing broadcasters
with value, which are overpriced, and how do changing
consumer behaviours affect the market? Is it time for
football to reduce its reliance on broadcast money for
growth?

Except when it involves their club - or any seemingly any
