This 22nd edition of the EFDN Conference will take place in Leuven, Belgium, and is the ideal opportunity to meet your fellow EFDN members and other football-related organisations and gain new knowledge about ESG strategies in European football. The main topics of this gathering will be social inclusion and disability, mental health and themes like fundraising, sustainability, racism, gender inequality, will be discussed and explained by experts in these domains and in line with EFDN’s motto of “Making Football Matter”.
