The 5th edition of the programme has been launched in Switzerland

This October, the participants of the 5th cohort returned to school during the first session organised in Switzerland at UEFA HQ.

This new squad of 29 participants is composed by 22 different nationalities and together they have more than 1,600 national team selections.

Led by Christophe Lepetit (co-director of the UEFA MIP, CDES), this session was held in some prestigious sports venues such as IOC, FIBA, UEFA, Maison du Sport International, FC Lausanne Sport, and Servette FC.
The objective of this first week was to present an overall panorama of the football world. Therefore, numerous stakeholders (sporting institutions, club and player unions, fan representatives, etc.) were invited to present their role and to debate current issues in the football industry. Participants were also able to reflect on the specificities of sports economics and its practical use in football.

The whole UEFA MIP family got the chance to meet again and welcome its new members, as the Graduation Ceremony of MIP 4 and the annual General Assembly of the MIP Alumni Association were also organised during this week,

The next session on Management and leadership will take place in Paris from 5 to 9 February 2024.
