PORTFOLIO A
s well as hosting the third
Soccerex Global Convention in Rio de Janeiro this November, and having already hosted, with great success
ess, the Soccerex
European Forum in Manchester back in March 2012, Soccerex will now be hosting the Soccerex African Forum in Durban this October, as well as the regional Soccerex Seminar Lagos at the end of September.
Growing Football’s Legacy in Africa The inaugural Soccerex African Forum will
take place at the International Convention Centre in Durban from 23-24 October 2012, just days ahead of the draw for the 2013 African Cup of Nations, which is attended by all the federations from across the continent. Hosted by the Kwazulu-Natal Provincial
David Dein, seen here with representatives from the Lagos State Football Association, will be one of many high-profile speakers at the Soccerex Seminar Lagos.
Government and EThekwini Municipality, this two-day event will feature a confer- ence, exhibition and a programme of net- working events, and will build on the business legacy of Soccerex’s three year stay in South Africa (2007-2009) for the Glo- bal Convention and the legacy of 2010 FIFA World Cup™ across Africa.

Following South Africa’s hosting of the
2010 FIFA World Cup™, the country boasts some of the most modern and innovative stadia in the world, along with some of the foremost experts in the industry.

The agenda will also explore future devel- opments, such as ticketing, seating, sus- tainability and legacy. Commenting on the event, which aims
to draw 1,200 of football’s key stakehold- ers, Soccerex CEO Duncan Revie said: “I am so pleased that Soccerex is returning to South Africa for the Soccerex African Forum.
