Sports World Congress Barcelona

FIGUERAS Joins as Strategic Partner for the First Edition of the Sports World Congress in Barcelona. The Congress, which will be held in Barcelona from February 3 to 5, will debate the impact of organizing the 2030 World Cup on stadiums and cities.

Figueras Seating reinforces its commitment to the stadium and arena segment by supporting as a Strategic Partner the first edition of the Sports World Congress, an international event to be held in Barcelona from February 3 to 5, 2025. This congress will address the challenges and opportunities presented by major sporting events, such as the 2030 World Cup, for stadiums and host cities.

The Sports World Congress will bring together delegations from Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, along with representatives from the World Cup stadiums and cities, to discuss the social, economic, and environmental impact of such events. This forum, designed as a public-private meeting space, aims to energize the sports industry and offer innovative solutions to its main challenges.

As a Strategic Partner, Figueras will actively participate in the discussions and present an exclusive keynote where it will outline the main trends for comprehensive stadium equipment solutions, as well as key projects it has recently worked on.

“The sports segment is strategic for Figueras. Due to our experience over the past two years, it has been a challenge for us in terms of scalability and sustainability, which has resulted in the launch of new generations of products that understand the need to change the use and management of stadiums,” explains Marta Ferrer, Director of Iberia and Latam at Figueras. “These venues must combine functionality and aesthetics, in addition to having the capacity to adapt to accommodate different types of events, beyond purely sporting ones.”

The Congress will be held in two emblematic spaces of the city, namely the Hotel Torre Melina Gran Melià and the INEFC headquarters. With this new event, Barcelona consolidates itself as a global reference in innovation and major events.
