SFS24 inaugurated: “A reference for the entire Football Industry”, says CEO Gianfilippo Valentini

Gianfilippo Valentini, CEO of SFS, officially inaugurated the seventh edition of the SFS. In the Football Stage, a hall full of attendees listened to the opening remarks of the “host.”

“This year, we’ve made substantial changes, especially from an organizational standpoint. We’ve expanded the entire exhibition area and worked with the aim of creating as many networking opportunities as possible among all the stakeholders involved. I want to thank the over 75 partners who have chosen to support us. We have become a benchmark for the entire Football Industry.”

Two days at the Stadio Olimpico, therefore, bringing together numerous key players: 120 club teams from Italy and abroad, sports institutions, and industry operators who will take turns across five stages.
An edition dedicated to the internationalization of the SFS brand, featuring over 90 panels focusing on significant topics, as highlighted in the event’s manifesto. But that’s not all, as the summit’s organizers, as mentioned during the opening, are already working on the Snack events scheduled to take place in various parts of the world.

A general upgrade in terms of themes, with the addition—beyond sustainability, social inclusion, and digital tech—of exhibition spaces solely dedicated to the sports tourism and health industries.

Valentini also highlighted the startup competition that will take place this afternoon in the Training Room, followed by the SFS Awards in the evening, set in the magnificent surroundings of the Campidoglio. Noteworthy was the tribute to Emanuela Peretti, to whom the Female Leadership in Football Award is dedicated. Valentini honored her memory, calling her a “virtuous and positive example for all new generations.”

Enjoy the summit, everyone!
