World Football Summit Prepares To Transform Monterrey
With just one week before its inauguration, World Football Summit (WFS) Monterrey will bring together more than 1,000 global industry leaders from close to 40 countries and 100 world-renowned speakers on June 9-10 in Monterrey, Mexico.
The event, which marks a milestone in consolidating Mexico as a strategic hub for football business, has attracted participation from the world’s most prestigious sports organisations, top-tier financial institutions and global brands that are redefining the sports industry.
Unprecedented International Participation
WFS Monterrey will bring together representatives from the world’s most influential clubs and sports organisations, including Tigres UANL, Rayados de Monterrey, Club América, LALIGA, FC Barcelona, Arsenal WFC, US Soccer Federation, Toluca, Dallas Mavericks, LA Clippers and Washington Spirit, among many others, creating a unique ecosystem of networking and business opportunities.
The corporate sector will be represented by global brands such as JP Morgan, ESPN, Populous, Wasserman, Adidas and Coca-Cola, demonstrating the international reach and strategic relevance of the event for the football and sports industry in general.
Crucial Moment for the Football Industry in the Americas
The event comes at a strategic moment for the region, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup promising a $5 billion economic impact and the Mexican football industry projected to reach $1.044 billion by 2029. The Latin American sponsorship market, valued at $745 million, presents unprecedented opportunities for growth and innovation.
“Monterrey has become the epicentre of the most important conversations about the future of football in the Americas,” commented Jan Alessie, Co-Founder and Managing Director of World Football Summit.
“The international response we have received, with more than 1,000 industry leaders confirming their participation to date, demonstrates that this event is not only relevant for Mexico, but fundamental to understanding where the global football industry is heading.
“The decisions and alliances forged here will directly influence the development of the sport throughout the region over the next decade.”
