UEFA MIP 4 Session 6 – Back to Manchester

by Viktoria Rosta0 Comments

The UEFA MIP was back in the North of England.

A couple of weeks after the MIP third edition’s finl session in the North of England, we were back to Manchester and Liverpool for the 5th session of MIP fourth edition.

Once again co-managed by Stéphane Ehrhart (UEFA Academy) and Christophe Lepetit (CDES Limoges), this session was dedicated to stadium operations and sporting direction of clubs. During these 5 intense days, we had the opportunity to be hosted by some of the most iconic English football clubs: Manchester United (Aon training complex and Old Trafford), Manchester City (Etihad Stadium) and Liverpool (Anfield).

The participants received many insights coming from stadium and sporting experts. They were also very active, taking part in many workshops and simulations. They also had to present an update of the work carried out on their managerial report.

This session was the last one of 2022. The UEFA MIP 4th cohort will meet again in 2023 for the two last sessions in London 6-10 February) and Miami (27-31 March).

by Viktoria Rosta0 Comments

MIP 3 participants took part in the last session of the programme at the beginning of September in the North of England. After coping with 3 very disrupted years due to the COVID-19 pandemic during which they experienced considerable upheaval (sessions postponed, zoom sessions, bubble sessions, etc.), this final meeting was organised in Manchester and Liverpool from 5 to 9 September.

Co-directed by Christophe LEPETIT (CDES) and Stéphane EHRHART (UEFA Academy), the session dealt with two main issues: stadium and operations management and responsibilities of a sporting director.

Hosted in some of the most beautiful and iconic venues of Manchester (Old Trafford, AON Training Complex, Etihad Stadium) and Liverpool (Anfield), many experts coming from the sporting industry shared their insights and knowledge during these five days. The participants also had the possibility to shadow a stadium manager around a UEFA Europa League game between Manchester United and Real Sociedad.

After this last session – and a very busy year of 2022 – MIP 3 participants will have a final celebration at their graduation ceremony, early November, in Nyon.
