As we look ahead to an important stretch for soccer across North America, there is strong momentum and excitement building across the sport, and that was on full display at The Business of Soccer in Atlanta. Day one featured MLS Commissioner Don Garber, Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani, and U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone, in a conversation moderated by SBJ’s Abe Madkour, highlighting this generational moment and the global growth ahead for MLS. The day also included a panel on stadium development moderated by SBJ’s Bret McCormick, with Chicago Fire President of Business Operations Dave Baldwin, New England Revolution President Brian Bilello, and New York City FC President & CEO Brad Sims. The day concluded with a fireside chat between CNN’s Coy Wire and Clark Hunt, Chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs and FC Dallas, who shared his perspectives on leadership, growth, and the evolving soccer landscape. We look ahead to day two with more thought-provoking insights and conversations shaping the future of the game.
