SOCCEREX THE GLOBAL LEADER FOR THE BUSINESS OF FOOTBALL

Following last Friday's announcement that Rio de Janeiro will host the Olympic Games in 2016, Soccerex would like to formally congratulate our partners Rio de Janeiro on this great achievement. Rio de Janeiro are the host for the Soccerex Conventions 2010-2013. With four Soccerex Conventions, a FIFA Wolrd Cup and an Olympic Games, Brazil will truly be the home of world sport from now until 2016.

Soccerex 2009 offers you the first chance to engage with many of the key individuals involved in these two massive sporting events. On Wednesday 2 December, the Soccerex 2009 conference programme will feature a panel consisting of the key decision-makers from many of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Host Cities and the hosts of the 2016 Olympics, including:

Marcia Lins (Secretary of Sports and Manager for the 2014 World Cup, Rio de Janeiro)

Fabio Simao (Project Manager for the 2014 World Cup, Brasilia)

Tiago Lacerda (President of the Municipal Committee World Cup 2014, Belo Horizonte)

Caio Carvalho (Executive Coordinator World Cup 2014, Sao Paulo)

More 2014 host cities are expected to attend; so far Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Sao Paulo have invested on exhibition space, providing our delegates with business opportunities and insight into the organisation and hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.
