Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, SIGA Global CEO, delivered a game-changing keynote at Soccerex Europe in Amsterdam (May 30-31).
Ahead of a panel on Good Governance & Sport Integrity, Emanuel reflected on the judicial investigations that rocked FIFA and posed a critical question: “Are we in 2024 better than we were 9 years ago, ahead of FIFAgate?”
He underscored the vital role of SIGA in fostering a corruption-free sports environment by posing urgent, thought-provoking questions: “Where is the money coming from? Where is the money going? And who is watching?”
SIGA’s Global CEO concluded with a powerful call to action: “The time for doubt and hesitation is over. This is the do-or-die moment.”
