Symposium Themes

Our programme brings together leading experts in football medicine to address the full spectrum of player care, from grassroots to the elite game. Across plenary keynotes, focused scientific sessions, and practical case discussions, we will explore:

  • Injury prevention and return‑to‑play pathways
  • Player welfare and long‑term health
  • Women’s football and female athlete health
  • Governance, integrity, and medical standards in football
  • Emergency care and stadium safety
  • Inclusion and the broader game

Goals of the Symposium

The symposium aims to provide a scientifically robust and practically relevant programme that supports high‑level learning for doctors, physiotherapists, scientists, and other members of the multidisciplinary team. Our goals are to:

  • Encourage meaningful knowledge exchange between confederations, clubs, national teams, and researchers.
  • Promote consistent, high‑quality medical standards across European and global football.
  • Equip participants with practical tool and evidence-based strategies they can immediately apply in their daily work with players and teams.
