Great event next week in Brussels! ⏱️
Joining the UEC Football Forum: Raffaele Poli, 𝐂𝐨-𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲
Raffaele co-founded the @CIES_Football in 2005 and has helped establish it as a leading source of research on football's player and transfer markets. how money and talent are increasingly concentrated among a small elite of clubs, and how competitive imbalance has grown across European leagues. A PhD holder in human sciences and lecturer at the University of Neuchâtel, he brings two decades of data-driven insight into football's economic structures.
At the fourth UEC Football Forum, Raffaele joins our third panel session to examine what the data tells us about redistribution and competitive balance in European football.
As financial and sporting power become increasingly concentrated at the top, can football's current economic model deliver meaningful competition? And what would it take to create a more level playing field?
