We have pleasure to announce our inaugural UK Football Business Tour, which will take place between 25 February and 1 March 2019 visiting the cities of London, Manchester and Liverpool respectively.
The Tour will include visits to professional clubs in these cities engaging with their operations and marketing teams to share with our delegates their best practice as a club managing their academies, dealing with player-contracts and image rights, engagement with player agents, connecting with the fans and their local communities respectively.
The main focus of the tour is to facilitate a process whereby delegates could forge cooperation agreements with UK-based clubs, academies, foundations, associations, businesses, etc.
The Tour is open to any one interested to learn more on the key strategies, which makes the Premier League the leader amongst its peers, not only in Europe but around the world as well.
Meetings could also be arranged with UK counterparts for African coaches, player agents, sponsorship agents, etc.
The Tour will also offer delegates the chance to watch their favourite Premier League teams, with the main attraction being the match between Manchester United and Liverpool on Saturday 23 February.
Arsenal is also playing two consecutive home games against Southampton on Saturday 23 February and Bournemouth on Tuesday 26 February and on the same day, Crystal Palace is hosting Manchester United on the other side of town.
