Pieces of news coverage

The Business of Football Summit returns in 2025 for its seventh edition to press deeper into its exploration of the financial forces transforming the game. As private capital continues to flow into football, is there a path to profit? Is there sufficient competitive balance? Is football's financial model actually working, and is it being regulated properly? Or was the failed European Super League only the opening salvo in a long-term battle for change? Is it in women's football where the most attractive growth opportunities really lie?

Join leading investors, club and league executives, regulators, broadcasters, and tech innovators 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.
