Speaker Georg Pangl Keynote Topics

Background, distribution of power, and decision-making processes in world football

• Soccer is one, if not the largest industry in the world, moving masses around the globe and having followers all over the world.
• There is a real machine behind this, which is organised in associations on the continents to organise this in such a way that a lot of profit remains with the associations.
• There has long been a dispute about credibility, as there could be people who do not put sport and fair competition in the foreground, but in the pursuit of power and profit.
• In the lecture, the speaker shows the network, structures, and mechanisms, who are the real “players” and opponents, and what interests are hidden behind the individual people in world football.
• An extremely exciting and insightful lecture that reveals the dark side of the favourite sport and the true working methods of the officials and in the end reveals who holds the power in the world of football.
• Born in Austria, he shares his international football experience and gives unique insights into how and what momentous decisions are made at the highest levels of government in football.
• His explanations with concrete and sometimes unbelievable examples and numbers show why football is moving towards the abyss and what needs to be done to stop this development.
