In 100 days, WFS Riyadh 2027 will open its doors at Misk City against a landmark backdrop. On January 27-28, the event will take place in the middle of the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027, as the Kingdom hosts Asia’s premier national-team competition for the first time, from January 7 to February 5.
The 2027 edition will be the fourth staged by World Football Summit in Saudi Arabia. Since its debut in Jeddah in 2023, the event has become a fixture in the calendar of football stakeholders across the Kingdom and the region. It has also acted as a bridge between Saudi Arabia’s football vision and the global industry. As part of that long-standing commitment to football in Saudi Arabia and the region, World Football Summit has moved WFS Riyadh to coincide with the Asian Cup and contribute to a historic milestone for the country.
With the tournament gathering the continent’s national teams, federations, leagues, broadcasters and commercial partners in the Kingdom, WFS Riyadh 2027 broadens its scope to the football industry of all of Asia. From the Gulf to East Asia, and from Central and South Asia to Australia, the event will connect the decision-makers of Asian football with Saudi institutions and with the clubs, leagues, rights holders, brands and investors of the global game.
The best executives will take the floor while the best players take the pitch. For clubs, leagues and brands already active in Asia through pre-season tours, media rights, sponsorship or academies, WFS Riyadh 2027 offers two days of high-level conversations and premium networking with their counterparts from across the continent, in one place and at one moment.
