N3XT Sports partnered with World Football Summit to create Football Innovation Forum, a one-day event celebrated the day before the UEFA Champions League.
Football organizations are facing new trends in the market, that are generating new opportunities that have never been possible before. These trends are accelerated even further by the entrance of tech companies, investors and entrepreneurs who are solving some of the biggest pain points and helping to adapt to consumers and fans who are changing their habits of consumption. In the last 12 months, we have witnessed innovation activities popping up in the football industry to deal with this new steady state. It is encouraging to witness this trend, even if it is within very few organizations.
At the first-ever dedicated event to the topic of Football Innovation, leaders from the world of football and sports came together to discuss the future of the sport. On May 31, 2019, we hosted this invite-only event ahead of the Champions League final in Madrid with World Football Summit, the reference event of the football industry, and in collaboration with UEFA.
Don’t worry that you missed it, as we captured all of the sessions on stream and all the photos here too! Try catching up on the videos to hear from leading organizations such as UEFA, FIFA, La Liga, DFL4Equity, Facebook, Kosmos, Mediapro, Telefonica and several others.

It was a huge success, and it’s coming back again next year ahead of the Champions League final in Istanbul! Register your interest already here and we hope to see you next year.
