WHY THE FBA ?

We are convinced that higher education is the key to promoting positive industry development. As such, we have teamed up with industry experts to create our programs in Football Business, which trains the talented leaders of tomorrow while challenging the status quo.

WHERE IT
ALL STARTED

The idea of creating The FBA originated in 2015 in Switzerland when a major global football scandal was taking place, signaling that the football industry needed to bring in more ethics and professionalism, to start cleaning up its act and foster a sustainable environment for its continued growth. Simultaneously, a lot of emerging football markets started to advance their interest in building the necessary ecosystems, but in many cases lacked professional know-how and didn’t always have the appropriate programs to cater to these needs.

Having identified that higher education would be the most effective way to teach the next generation of leaders and bring in new talent and ideas, the founders started research and development on an innovative and unique Professional Master in Football Business, which would bridge the needs of those wanting to develop a career in the football industry and those of the organizations already within it.

OUR PARTNERS

The FBA’s strength lies in our partnerships and strong industry relationships through which we continuously seek to identify the synergies between the Partners’ strategic needs and The FBA Candidates’ skills and interests.
