The World Cup as a Catalyst: Shaping the Next Decade of Football Development
Our latest ASDX session will explore the impact of the recent Men’s World Cup and what its perceived successes, challenges and emerging trends could mean for the future development of the game globally.

Bringing together perspectives from across football, the discussion will consider areas including Head Coach changes and tactical evolution, emerging physical and performance trends, player development pathways, recruitment and scouting, and the geographical challenges and opportunities shaping the next generation of talent.

Speakers will continue to be confirmed over the coming days, with the current line-up including:

Gus Williams – ASD Technical Committee
Gareth Prosser – Former Academy Director, Al-Jazira FC
Gabor Ruhr – Head of Scouting, Norwich City FC
Michael Nanopoulos – SkillCorner
Sasha Sekovanec – Eyeball

As always with ASDX, the aim is to move beyond simply reviewing what happened at the World Cup and instead consider what we can learn from it, what may change as a consequence, and how those lessons could shape football development over the next decade.
