Barcelona's VP joins panel at the "Future of Football" conference

Ferran Soriano, Vice-President of Spanish FC Barcelona, one of the most iconic names in world sport, will join Randy Lerner, David Dein and Sir Alex Ferguson to debate many of the key issues facing the game at a groundbreaking conference in London on 20 November.

As head of financial matters at the Catalan side, Soriano has spearheaded a recent revival off the pitch, making the club profitable and helping to reduce their debt. FC Barcelona holds a unique position within the world game and is guided by the principles of spectacular football, alongside a strong social commitment.

Following a keynote speech from Keith Harris, Chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce, Soriano will join a panel debating issues surrounding both the ownership of football clubs and how best to develop and market clubs throughout the globe.

The afternoon session will discuss some of the game’s major topics on the field. Sir Alex Ferguson, Sam Allardyce, Alan Curbishley and Lawrie Sanchez will be part of a panel focusing on how best to maximize talent, with leading American sports figure Billy Beane offering a different perspective. The ‘Future of Football’ Conference is set to be a landmark event, shaping the debate both on and off the pitch.
