Turin, 5 September, 2014 – A very successful second edition of FootballAvenue took place on 30 May at the Juventus Stadium. Attendance doubled both in terms of Clubs and businesses, with more than 60 teams, and with over 150 Italian and foreign companies that experienced a day full of meetings in an effort to create new business opportunities.

This exchange of knowledge is very important to us and it is my opinion that this represents the main distinctive feature of the Forum”. Francesco Ghirelli, Director General Lega Pro: “Lega Pro took part in FootballAvenue since it is another important step of a path started with our clubs to make them grow also within an enlarged European context. The International Forum, arranged by Ludovica Mantovani, is a chance to debate about many issues related to football, and it is a key element because it gathers many organizations that can share their skills and knowledge”. Ludovica Mantovani Director Europe FootballAvenue: “We aim at making FootballAvenue an event that is not only Italian but European, and we have partially succeeded in doing it with this second edition. We are working to achieve an even higher international participation in 2015, thanks to the usual valuable support of our sponsors and partners”.
