DUBAI AT THE CENTRE OF WORLD FOOTBALL
The only international meeting for football operators
Perhaps it’s the idea of experiencing the urban miracle of a metropolis growing between the sea and the desert, but the bond which Globe Soccer has created between Dubai and football has proven to be unbreakable. Media attention, a massive TV presence, stimulating work sessions. All with the involvement of key representatives of the football world and market operators who are present for almost a week at
each edition, before, during and after the scheduled activities. In the first two editions, all the footballing continents were accredited, football institutions were among the guests (FIFA, UEFA, AFC, EFAA, ECA, agents and directors, federations, leagues, the leading authorities from the United Arab Emirates) and several teams (including teams Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as a significant European presence: FC Barcelona, FC Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, FC Inter Milan, AC Milan, AS Roma, Porto FC, Arsenal among the others).
THE NUMBERS
Over 2,800 accredited participants from 50 different countries, meeting in an event that is not to be missed
Globe Soccer’s mission is to ensure sector operators from around the world have a chance to meet on the eve of the final market window envisaged by FIFA. In this sense the result has already gone beyond expectations.
These are the numbers of Globe Soccer which, better than any other statistic, bear witness to the interest generated by the event. The
figures are those which only a great event can register: the first three editions have involved over 50 countries and welcomed almost 2,800 participants, including delegates and accredited representatives.
The organisers achieved these results by drawing on the exclusive relationship with the local authorities and thanks to the participation of guests representing FIFA, UEFA, ECA, and EFAA, as well as from the main clubs and institutions.
GLOBE SOCCER AWARDS
Globe Soccer awards for, among others, best football agent and director of the year
As from the 2nd edition of Globe Soccer the Globe Soccer Awards have taken place, dedicated to the best football director and agent of the year.
The Awards, the key celebratory moment of the event, as from their first edition, are presented during the official gala dinner, which takes place in an exclusive position in the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world.
In this breathtaking scenario, the main names from the football scene from all the continents have taken part in the awards ceremony which is transmitted live on Dubai Sports Channel.
EFAA, the European Football Agents Association, FIFA and ECA, the European Club Association, have been involved in the growth of the event from the start and have appreciated its rationale and potential.
During the 3rd edition of Globe Soccer, thanks to the collaboration of the Spanish Football Federation, FC Barcelona and FC Porto, the World Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League were displayed together for the first time.
