WELCOMING OUR 4TH EDITION
March also marked the official start of the 4th Edition of our cutting-edge Professional Master in Football Business. Once again, we welcomed 14 passionate men and women to The FBA Family as they seek to enter the football industry with the right knowledge, network and experience.
Promoting diversity and gender equity has been part of our key focus areas since day one, so witnessing that a third of our new Candidates are women is an encouragement for us and everyone else that’s pushing for a leadership landscape fit for our times.
