The goal of the event is to point out some practically relevant key issues with a focus on current developments.
The target audience of the event are the representatives of international and national football federations/associations, clubs, consultants of players’ funds, lawyers, CAS arbitrators, and companies working in the football industry, agents and sport managers.
