EFDN Announces the 22nd Conference in Leuven on November 20th, 2024

The European Football for Development Network (EFDN) is excited to announce the upcoming 22nd EFDN Conference, set to take place on November 20th, 2024, in Leuven, Belgium. This highly anticipated event will be hosted at the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium, offering a unique platform for professionals in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) fields within the football community to engage, learn, and network.

Following the 21st EFDN Conference in Warsaw, Poland, hosted by Fundacja Legia Warszawa in April 2024, the Leuven edition will continue the tradition of fostering dialogue and collaboration on key topics such as fundraising, environmental sustainability, anti-discrimination, social inclusion, online safeguarding, physical activity across age groups, and STEM education. The conference will feature a variety of panels, breakout sessions, and presentations, designed to encourage valuable networking among EFDN members, football clubs, leagues, associations, and other organisations committed to sustainable development.
