To celebrate the launch of the 13th iteration of the Brand Finance Football 50 study, we will be hosting the Brand Finance Football Forum 2018 - Will the Premier League always be Number 1?

This year we have widened our scope of analysis to include corporate sponsorship in football and also expanded our original market research conducted amongst football fans in the emerging markets of China, India and the USA.

Join us to hear about the key findings from this year’s report on the most valuable and strongest club brands, listen to our speakers as they dive into the topics of foreign investment in football as well as whether the dominance of the Premier League will indeed last.
