The Independent Study on the Future of Brazilian Football kicked off with a significant impact during the Inaugural Conference & Public Hearing, gathering around two hundred stakeholders at the MorumBIS stadium auditorium.
The event was a pivotal moment for sharing insights and fundamental reflections on key topics, including the creation of a Professional League in Brazil. Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, Chair and CEO of SIGA LATIN AMERICA and Global CEO of SIGA, provided a detailed presentation on the study’s objectives, commissioned by the Parliamentary Front for the Modernization of Football.
The conference also featured discussions on the social function and economic impact of football in Brazil, led by a variety of experts and stakeholders, and debates on the future of Brazilian football from the perspectives of players and coaches. Important topics such as racism, lack of psychological preparation for athletes from an early age, and the cultural issue of racism in football were explored. Additionally, the event facilitated crucial discussions on sports betting, legislation, regulation, and integrity, highlighting the urgency of addressing these matters not only in Brazil but globally. The consensus on the need for clubs to unite and create a single league underscored the conference’s productive nature and the collective enthusiasm for the progress and modernization of Brazilian football.
We are excited to share exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the event. These images capture the vibrant atmosphere, the engaging debates, and the unity of purpose among participants. They offer a unique glimpse into the collaborative efforts and dedication of all those involved, highlighting the commitment to driving forward the future of Brazilian football with integrity, passion, and innovation.
