We’ve spoken to the European Leagues, FifPro (the players union), professional first division clubs in Germany and Sweden, grassroots clubs from Belgium Spain and Israel, a Member of the European Parliament, Zukunft Profifussball, UEFA and fellow fans organisations FSE and CAFE. Now is the time for a final discussion, a look ahead. And who better to discuss this with than William Gaillard, former senior advisor to the UEFA president and a member of SD Europe’s advisory board, and David Goldblatt, acclaimed sports writer, journalist, sociologist and author.
SD Europe’s 'For A Better Football' podcast mini-series of podcasts features guests from a variety of football stakeholders about their experiences of the last 8 months enduring a pandemic and the need for reforms in football. As the name suggests, it’s about decanting the ideas of the participating stakeholders to understand what lessons have been learnt to make football better for all. Active in over 50 countries across Europe, Africa and Asia, SD Europe represents grassroots and national supporters organisations, as well as amateur and professional member-run football clubs, in addition to working with national associations and professional leagues.
