The European Football for Development Network (EFDN) will host its 19th EFDN Conference from March 20-22, 2023 at the Benito Villamarín Stadium of Real Betis Balompié in Seville, Spain.

EFDN Conferences bring a unique opportunity for ESG/CSR experts and newcomers into the CSR world to learn from each other and share their insights about topics such as fundraising in CSR, environmental sustainability, anti-discrimination, social inclusion, online safeguarding, disability football, physical activity in younger and older population, or STEM education, among others. The format of the conference includes panels, breakout sessions, interactive study visits and roundtables, and offers multiple chances to network and connect with other EFDN members and experts related to ESG/CSR in football.
