SCIENCE4FOOTBALL - Idea

The best results and professionalism in every area of life are connected nowadays to using scientific discoveries. The same goes for the most popular sports discipline, that is football. As part of the Science4Football congress we offer an overview of the latest trends, meetings with leading experts, and tens of practical examples of using science in sports.

Within four phillars of the Congress:
- Dietetics
- Prevention & regeneration
- Motor skills
- Psychology
we focus on the key aspects of modern football player's growth and functioning, as well as everyone who works with them in various roles, as manager, coach, partner, parent, sponsor, or any other member of the closest staff. Each of these fields already play a very important role in achieving success, and in the next couple of years they will become crucial.

Congress is organised under the patronage of Polish Football Forum, a cyclic event dedicated to the development strategy of Polish football. It was first held in September 2016 in the Legia Stadium under the auspices of the Minister of Sport and Tourism, and in cooperation with European Club Association (ECA), Polish Football Association (PZPN) and Ekstraklasa, and later in October 2017 as part of the Congress 590 in Rzeszów. Another edition of Polish Football Forum is planned for the Autumn of 2018.
