Russia 2018/2022 Bid Committee to sponsor Soccerex Networking Cafe in Asia and Brazil

Tue 8th Jun 2010 | Football Industry Events

Soccerex is delighted to confirm that the Russia 2018/2022 FIFA World Cup Bid Committee has signed up to sponsor the networking cafe at both the Soccerex Asian Forum (28-29 July, Singapore) and the Soccerex Global Convention (20-24 November, Rio de Janeiro).

The Russian Bid Committee sponsored the cafe at each of the last two Soccerex events – the 2009 Global Convention and the inaugural Soccerex European Forum – and has chosen to extend their sponsorship to cover the remaining Soccerex events in 2010, in the build up to FIFA’s decision in December, regarding the location of the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.

 “Soccerex continues to form an important part of our promotional strategy. As we enter a very busy phase in our campaign, we recognize the value of being able to reach in one place as many key decision makers in football as possible,” commented Alexey Sorokin, Bid Committee CEO.

Soccerex offers unrivalled networking opportunities within the football industry and the Networking Cafe is central to this, located at each event in the middle of the exhibition hall forming a networking hub for delegates to meet and interact.

The Soccerex Asian Forum will feature some of the continent’s most high-profile figures including Mohamed bin Hammam (President, AFC) and Worawi Makudi (President, Thailand FA) along with brands and clubs from across the continent.

Taking place in the world’s biggest football market, the two-day forum will enable an exchange of ideas between the west and the east and allow partnerships to be forged between European and Asian football rights holders and businesses. For further information about this event please visit www.soccerex.com/asia or call +44 (0)208742 7100.
