The Sport Industry Group is proud to announce that Sepp Blatter will be the subject of the Sport Industry Interview 2007 – the first such dialogue of its kind that the FIFA President has undertaken in the UK.

The Sport Industry Interview 2007, in association with Wiggin LLP, the media law firm, will take place on Wednesday 28th February at Bloomberg Studios in central London. In front of an exclusive, invite-only audience of 200 of the leading practitioners from the UK sport industry, the FIFA President will engage in an in-depth interview conducted by BBC presenter John Inverdale.

The high-powered audience on the evening will comprise of the leading industry figures from football as well as the wider sporting world, including top-level representatives from sporting governing bodies, federations, sponsors and agencies.

Inarguably the most powerful man in world sport, Blatter’s eight-year reign as the head of football’s global governing body has witnessed the growth of the beautiful game into the commercial colossus it has become, reaching all four corners of the globe.

Having overseen two World Cups and dealt with countless issues on and off the pitch during his tenure, the exploration of Blatter’s past experiences and his views on the current scenario facing the governance of football represents an incomparable opportunity for those responsible for taking UK sport forward.

The naming of Sepp Blatter as the second leading personality to take part in the annual Sport Industry Interview follows on from the event’s highly successful launch in 2006, where Mayor of London Ken Livingstone gave his forthright opinions on the 2012 Olympics to a packed room of the hierarchy of UK sport.
