Nike Football Community Summit, Paris, September 2022

Last month Football For Future was invited to attend the inaugural summit of Nike FC in Paris. “Nike have a football team!?” I hear you ask? No, this is the Nike Football Community, where FFF Founder & Co-Director, Elliot Arthur-Worsop rubbed shoulders with groups such as Bloomsbury Football, Football Beyond Borders, Grenfell Athletic and many more.

Nike brought groups from 18 different countries together in Paris, to host a range of of workshops and talks designed to spark collaboration for the future.

The 4 day summit was branded as “a unique group experience, designed for exchange and inspiration. An arena meant to inspire players, fans and coaches the world over.”

It began on the theme “the future of football is now,” discussing how far the game has developed and how it will continue to develop in all areas.

Elliot even found time to get photos with a few stars of the game, England Manager Sarina Wiegman and Brazil and Tottenham striker Richarlison.

It’s fantastic to contribute to such exciting conversations about the future of the beautiful game. When a diverse group of people come together to discuss the different challenges facing out support, that’s how progress is made.
