Sports World Congress Barcelona 2025

A few days have passed since the first edition of the Sports World Congress in Barcelona, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have actively participated in this international event, which brought together professionals and experts from the sports sector.

Sports World Congress Barcelona 2025

For Figueras Seating, the congress—focused on the future of major sporting events and their impact on host cities, particularly in light of the 2030 World Cup—reached a key moment on February 4 during the Impact Forum, as our CEO, Josep Manel Santiago, delivered a keynote that highlighted Figueras Seating’s strong commitment to the sports sector, emphasizing our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and the design of solutions that enhance the experience in stadiums and sports venues. Marta Ferrer, our Sales Director for Iberia and LATAM, took part as a speaker in one of the roundtable discussions. She addressed the importance of sustainability and innovation in the design of modern stadiums, highlighting how Figueras Seating’s stadium seating solutions enhance the fan experience while optimizing and maximizing space efficiency in sports venues.

During the event, the need to upgrade stadiums in Spain, Morocco, and Portugal, which will host the 2030 World Cup, was emphasized. In this context, Figueras Seating positions itself as a key partner, offering high-quality stadium seating designed to enhance capacity and functionality while meeting the highest standards of sustainability.

Furthermore, our sports seating solutions go beyond the general spectator area; we also provide seating for VIP and hospitality zones, presidential and authority boxes, private suites, press rooms, media areas, conference halls, auditoriums, screening rooms, training facilities, and even player benches.

Figueras Seating’s participation in the Sports World Congress reaffirms our commitment to excellence and innovation in stadium and arena seating solutions, consolidating our position as a global leader in seating solutions for major sporting events.
