Gianni Infantino remarked: “It’s great to be coming back to Manchester and Soccerex, which has always provided a worthwhile platform for UEFA to address the European football industry. The next few years will be an exciting period for European football and I’m looking forward to sharing our plans for the future.”

The decision by UEFA to choose the Forum as the first public platform to discuss the UEFA EURO 2020 bidding process is a huge privilege for us and underlines the importance and reach of our events.”
