The link between sports and innovation is getting closer and closer, and Sportech2025 returns with a conference open to all to explore its development. Protagonist of the evening will be Massimo Busacca, now head of referee designers for FIFA. Together with CSR journalist Gianluca Pusterla and the audience in the room he will address the topic of technology in soccer and the impacts on the way of refereeing, playing and experiencing matches.

From VAR (first deployed in 2016) to Goal Line Technology (2014), via semi-automatic offside (official debut in 2022) and microchip-equipped balls, technology has transformed soccer in less than a decade. Decisions that divide fans, materials and innovations that increase the power and precision of the game, tools that revolutionize the experience in the stands or on the couch at home: the modernization of soccer involves everyone, from fans to industry professionals.

In this meeting Massimo Busacca will share his experience and offer a privileged look at the present and future of the sport, recounting how new technologies are affecting the dynamics of the field and refereeing. This is not just for football fans, but an opportunity open to anyone curious about how innovation is redefining the rules of the game.
