Organized for the first time in 2015, the FITS Forum will bring together some of the most relevant local and international authorities in this field, as well as top experts and key stakeholders, all committed to tackle the threats facing the financial integrity of global Sport and press for the much needed reforms. 

Organised by SIGA EUROPE and hosted by PwC Portugal, at their Headquarters in Lisbon, the FITS Forum is an exclusive expert-driven thought leadership event. The agenda includes discussions with prominent industry leaders, including senior representatives from governments, regulatory and supervisory authorities, sports governing bodies and global business leaders. Attendees will engage in thought-provoking discussions on the challenges and opportunities surrounding financial integrity in sport, address common concerns, share best practices and how best enabled collaboration between public and private sectors can effectively contribute to enable a credible, sustainable and corruption-free environment for Sport to thrive.

The New York FITS Forum, held in June 2024, demonstrated the significance of financial integrity and transparency in addressing global challenges in sports governance. As the world’s leading coalition for Sport Integrity, SIGA is leveraging these discussions to drive forward its mission to prevent and combat corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion in sport. The outcomes of the New York FITS Forum culminated in the New York Declaration, a landmark initiative that calls for collective global action to safeguard sport.

Building on this momentum, the Lisbon edition will delve into critical priority areas, such as:

• Enhancing governance frameworks to prevent financial criminality and misconduct in sport.
• Strengthening the role of public-private partnerships in combating corruption.
• Promoting innovative approaches to foster financial integrity, transparency and accountability.

Stay tuned for more announcements related to the full agenda of the Anti-Corruption Week.

Places are limited and subject to prior registration and approval.
