The Forum will have key sessions focusing on Managing Modern-Day Clubs and Leagues to unpack the successful strategies required to create sustainable business principles required to make African football great and to grow the game all over the continent.
Other key topics to be debated include player welfare and retirement planning, development of coaches, club licensing, league development, the role of intermediaries/agents, academy development, marketing and sponsorship, fan engagement, football agents and strategies to improve clubs structures; etc.
Continental football bodies like those for intermediaries/agents, universities, armed forces, coaches, academies and others will also be invited to either have their founding meetings, congress or council meetings during the Forum.
The Forum will also feature the African Football Business Awards where recognition will be given to football personalities for their unselfish contribution to the game, as nominated by stakeholders from across the continent.
