Tickets are now on sale for TGG Live 2025, the industry-leading two-day conference that will be held at Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium on October 7th & 8th.
In the words of Sevilla Sporting Director Victor Orta, TGG is “a reference for professionals in football” and our annual Conference brings together practitioners from football and beyond under one roof.

The themes of the two-day Conference will be Sporting Directors, recruitment, analysis, coaching, Academies and performance, and the overarching idea is to bring people together from different departments and organisations to learn, network and share ideas.
Last year, more than 450 delegates attended TGG Live ’24 at St George’s Park, with speakers including Tom Vernon, the Founder of Right to Dream, Coventry City Performance Director Claire-Marie Roberts, Hull City Manager Ruben Selles, Manchester United Head of Data Operations Chris Shumba and Plymouth Argyle owner Simon Hallett.
This year we will once again have elite presenters, who will share the latest insights and innovations, as well as new break-out sessions, in which delegates can explore their specialist areas in greater depth. There will be a networking dinner at Old Trafford at the end of Day One (October 7th), with a three-course meal in the Salford Grill.
And we are delighted to be FREEZING TICKET PRICES FROM LAST YEAR, because we want to make TGG Live accessible to as many people as possible and continue to offer outstanding value. There is a discounted Early Bird Rate until May 31st.
The four ticket options are:
- Day One (October 7th) only.
- Day Two (October 8th) only.
- Two-day Combined: Access to both days.
- Add dinner: Access to the conference PLUS our networking dinner at Old Trafford on the evening of October 7th (includes drink on arrival, three-course meal and after-dinner tea and coffee).
We are proud that Teamworks, the Operating System for Sports, will once again be the headline sponsor of TGG Live.
“TGG Live continues to be a stand-out event, bringing together leaders and pioneers from across the football community,” Teamworks said. “It’s a premier opportunity to exchange ideas, network, and share best practices – all in one place.
“We’re proud to renew our partnership with TGG Live for 2025. Together, we remain committed to driving innovation in elite sports and providing teams with the tools and insights they need to excel. We are looking forward to another incredible event and to seeing everyone soon.”
We have a range of sponsorship opportunities available, enabling companies to be an integral part of a truly industry-leading event.
Testimonials:
“It was really good to listen to different speakers in the industry. The panels were brilliant at answering different questions live and giving real-life situations and giving insight.”
Natasha Patel, Director of Sporting Analytics, US Soccer
“TGG Live is great. You meet so many different people from so many different clubs – and from different industries as well. We all have the same processes, but it’s great to listen, communicate and connect. It’s been brilliant.”
Peter Ramage, Assistant Player Loans Manager, Newcastle United
“The panels are always great, to get a feel for how the same role or type of role looks at different clubs and in different contexts. It’s invaluable to see that and realise how varied it can be.”
Josh Ewens, First Team Fitness Coach, West Ham
“It was really good to get different perspectives and different ideas, particularly to do with Sporting Directors. That really opened up my eyes in terms of what that world looks like.”
Joel Bonner, Post-Match Analyst, Liverpool
“I found the Conference really interesting. It had a very strong start, with Tom Vernon from Right to Dream. I think it was nice to ground everybody. In football, you can get carried away with the money and high-performance level and it was nice to bring it back down to community.”
Kathryn Stuart, Player Insights National Lead, Football Association
