FIFA Master Alumni

THE FMA COMMITTEE

The FIFA Master programme provides each postgraduate with one of the most unique and memorable experiences of a lifetime. For each of us when that year of our lives comes to an end, we all want to give something back to the programme that provided us with such a tremendous life experience. Therefore, with that Mission, on Wednesday 9th July 2003, at the Graduation Ceremony of the 3rd edition of the FIFA Master, the official International Master in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport Alumni Association, was born.

In a growing competitive environment, the FIFA Master has established itself as an indisputable world-class postgraduate Sports Master Programme. Equally, we are convinced that we have a crucial role to play in maintaining this challenging but attainable vision. 

To make the association a highly effective network platform and organization, the FMA Committee holds every year a World Gathering - every two years during a major sporting event - to assemble all the alumni, conduct a Congress and collectively take the decisions that will lead us in the right direction and help us grow further to reach our ultimate goal: become the number 1 sports business alumni network in the world.

To date, seven world gatherings have taken place: the first one in Munich, Germany during the FIFA World Cup 2006, the second one in Basel, Switzerland during EURO 2008, the third one in Durban, South Africa, during the FIFA World Cup 2010, the fourth one in London, UK, during the Olympic Games, the fifth in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the sixth in Paris, France, during the UEFA EURO 2016, and the seventh in July 2017, in Neuchatel - the first organised independetly from a major sports event. Next stop will be in Russia, at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Lately our efforts have been focusing on “Alumni and Entrepreneurship” to encourage each member to take initiative and start companies and businesses amongst themselves. 

Thanks to the great initiative of a group of Brazilian Alumni, the FMA has launched the Jean-Louis Juvet Scholarship, to provide partial or full support to exceptional prospective students. 

We hope the above will inspire you to apply for the FIFA Master and join our family and network. We look forward to welcoming you to FMA in the near future.
