Business of Football Summit
The Business of Football Summit returned for its seventh edition, exploring the financial forces that transformed the game. It examined how private capital continued to flow into football and whether there was a path to profit. It questioned whether there was sufficient competitive balance, whether football's financial model was actually working, and if it was being regulated properly. It also explored whether the failed European Super League was only the opening salvo in a long-term battle for change and whether the most attractive growth opportunities really lay in women's football.
Leading investors, club and league executives, regulators, broadcasters, and tech innovators gathered to discuss key issues in football, from the transfer market and player development to the evolving needs of fans and sponsors, alongside FT journalists before a global audience.
