David Dein, former Vice Chairman of Arsenal FC and the Football Association, has joined the line up for the inaugural Soccerex Seminar Lagos, 27 – 28 September 2012.
David will call upon his vast local and international experience to deliver a masterclass on the hot topics in football today, with particular focus on the market in West Africa. David has been a regular visitor to the region and a strong advocate of its business potential. Commenting on the Soccerex Seminar Lagos, David said:
‘Nigeria is like my second home - I have been travelling there for over 30 years. The passion and ability that West Africa has for the beautiful game is immense and the economy is now growing rapidly, resulting in increased opportunities around football. In that sense, it is perfect timing that Soccerex has decided to come to Lagos – and I am really looking forward to being part of it.’
Given David’s strong Arsenal connections, his participation has added relevance as it will come shortly after the club have completed their first ever pre-season tour of Nigeria.
David’s session will be part of an agenda designed to promote industry best practice and highlight the growth potential of the region. The conference line up for the event will address key regional and international issues such as Football in West Africa, Youth Development, The Business of Football, Doing Business in West Africa and Social responsibility.
