The Conference

Operating under the umbrella of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the Dubai International Sports Conference is organized by Dubai Sports Council under the auspices of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council.

In December 2021 the attention of the entire football world was drawn once again to the Emirates, as the Dubai Sports Council hosted another edition of the Dubai International Sports Conference, featuring some of football’s most prominent international players discussing what’s next for the sport.

Over the last 15 years DISC has grown in stature to become one of football’s major brainstorming events, identifying relevant issues in the sport as top decision makers collaborate to not just find solutions, but also develop new initiatives.

The Conference is now well established as a key forum for discussion on the global development of the game, and has capitalised on its particular impetus to bring together the top leaders in all areas of football including chairmen, directors, referees, agents, players and coaches. This provides a unique opportunity for participants to share their combined expertise and experience.
