Rome, July 18, 2022

In September, the Social Football Summit will be back, two days dedicated to the Football Industry full of meetings and news in the beautiful setting of the Stadio Olimpico. Thanks to the contributions and participation of Institutions, Federations, Leagues, Clubs, Media and Top Brands, the #SFS is still a unique reference point for innovation and content production matters. An important opportunity for football players to share and create new opportunities within a very dynamic sector.

In the year of the World Cup, the Social Football Summit will take place earlier, on 27 and 28 September, in a completely redesigned Stadio Olimpico to welcome more than 180 top national and international speakers and industry stakeholders.

After the success of the previous editions with over 10,000 participants, the fifth edition of the SFS comes with a new concept, thanks to which participants will live an ‘immersive’ experience in the most exclusive spaces of the Stadio Olimpico.

As part of the #SFS22, we will once again be hosting the Football Summit Awards, during the Gala Dinner on 27 September, with 12 awards being given to some of football’s leading figures of the 2021/2022 season.

Lega Serie A will be the event’s Global Partner for the 4th consecutive year, confirming its participation in and support for the SFS, proving to be increasingly focused on the growth of the entire industry, on digital and process innovation matters, on the development of business models and – in general – on the dynamics of new content sharing systems.

President Lorenzo Casini and CEO Luigi De Siervo will take part in the SFS22.

“I am pleased for the renewed partnership, once again this year, with the Social Football Summit. It’s an important meeting moment that over the years has gained international prominence in the field of innovation and new tools for sharing and digitally communicating the football phenomenon – said the President of the Lega Serie A, Lorenzo Casini -. The Lega Serie A has supported the growth of this initiative from the very beginning and, today more than ever, it can represent a reference point for the exchange of good practices and the development of new digital projects related to football. All of this to also encourage the spread of the principles and social values that are at the heart of sport and, more generally, of the community. Projects like this one are essential for the growth of our industry and to outline its future vision. This is why I would like to thank all the companies and all our clubs that will participate with their valuable contribution”.

“We are proud to confirm the Global Partnership with the Lega Serie A. We have been working together for years to create an event that is an international reference, relying on the expertise of our partners and the importance of our championship. The relationship we are strengthening with the Lega Serie A is strategic and crucial in the growth path of the SFS, – said Gianfilippo Valentini, founder of the Social Football Summit – Together with the Lega Serie A, in the two-day event we will bring to Rome some of the most important stakeholders in the world of football and all the teams of our league. I would like to thank Casini and De Siervo for the availability and the support they are both showing us.”

Over 50 panels, 2 stages, 3 dedicated halls, 1 Innovation Park and 1 Networking Area and 1 Masterclass Area. With these numbers, the #SFS22, in Italian and English, will be accessible, also digitally, on the event’s social channels.
