The Association of European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL), the European Union – Humanitarian Aid (EU) and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) will be holding the press conference to discuss their current football-related joint initiatives in the fight against hunger.
The press conference will take place on Wednesday 30th March and will follow on from the EPFL’s General meeting which is taking place at the Forum, earlier that day, ensuring that representatives from all of Europe’s major leagues will be in attendance.
The Press Conference is part of a diverse agenda reflecting the latest issues in European Football including Financial Fair Play, sponsorship, commercial strategies, social media and fan interaction and International FA development.
