SOCCEREX THE GLOBAL LEADER FOR THE BUSINESS OF FOOTBALL

"It has become a 'must-attend' event in the football calendar"
Joseph S. Blatter, FIFA President

"As part of a team making the 2018 bid, it's fantastic - I can see more people here in two days, than I could in six months, clocking up the air miles. Soccerex provides a great platform for all elements of the football world to display their wares - I'm proud it's a British company"
Richard Caborn MP, England's 2018 World Cup Bid Ambassador

"I've been coming to Soccerex for more than 10 years now and I am delighted it is bringing the world of football to Johannesburg. Soccerex is an important part of the business of international football and makes a huge contribution to the growth and development of the game"
Danny Jordaan, CEO, South Africa LOC, 2010 FIFA World Cup

"It's an incredible event. I've been struck by the size and magnitude of Soccerex and am really impressed by the attendance of senior people within the football industry and the significant faces from the game. The exhibition hall has vast scope of products and services and it's very important to be here ahead of the World Cup - it's the place to be"
Adrian Bevington, Director of Communications, The FA

"Soccerex brings the world of Football together. Everybody is here, who is involved in the game of soccer, from top to bottom. As a result it is a great networking opportunity, purely from a business perspective, for clubs, associations, venue owners, operators, suppliers, event organisers and the world's media, related to the game of soccer. This is the perfect platform and I don't think there is anything like it in the world."
U. Balasubramaniam, CEO, Dubai Sports City

"Soccerex is an important addition to our bidding portfolio"
Lord Sebastian Coe, Chairman of the London 2012 Olympic bid and part of the England 2018 World Cup bid
