TGG Live 2025

TGG Live 2025

The annual conference for insights, ideas and networking.

October 7th—8th, 2025

Old Trafford, Manchester

Overview

TGG Live has become a key fixture in the football calendar, bringing together hundreds of delegates from dozens of clubs and federations, all eager to find out about the latest developments in football and beyond.

In the words of Sevilla Sporting Director Victor Orta, TGG is “a reference for professionals in football” and TGG Live brings together the stars of our podcast, webinars and articles in one place.

This year, we are holding TGG Live at the iconic Old Trafford stadium, home of Manchester United, on October 7th and 8th. We will showcase high- level speakers from leading clubs and federations, as well as experts from other sports and industries.

There will be a networking dinner at Old Trafford at the end of Day One, offering delegates, speakers and sponsors the chance to share their experiences and ideas in a relaxed setting. And we are introducing break-out sessions, in which delegates can explore their specialist areas in greater depth.

We are FREEZING TICKET PRICES FROM LAST YEAR, because we want to make TGG Live accessible to as many people as possible and to continue to offer outstanding value. 

TGG Live will cover all aspects of the backroom across two days: Sporting Directors, Strategy, Recruitment, Analytics, Coaching, Academies and Performance.

Attendees will experience:

  • Elite speakers.
  • High-level delegates from pro football and beyond.
  • Exhibitor hall featuring some of the most innovative companies in sport.
  • Breakfast pastries.
  • Buffet lunch.
  • Tea, coffee and soft drinks during breaks.
  • Free wifi.
  • Free stationery.
  • Complimentary parking.

There are four ticket options:

  • 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).

Club discounts are available for bulk purchases of four or more tickets. For more information on this – or anything else relating to the event – please email events@trainingground.guru

Testimonials

“I have had the pleasure of working with TGG for a few years and this is an exceptional event that brings together the leaders and pioneers of our football community under one roof. We can’t think of a better place to showcase our new products than TGG Live.”

Gareth Quinn

GM of EMEA

Teamworks

“It has been a pleasure working with TGG. Many people talk about partnerships, but very few actually walk the walk. Our partnership has been truly collaborative and generated a range of win-win scenarios for Hudl, TGG and our respective audiences, which has had a direct impact on our bottom line.”

Simon Collinson

Director of Sales & Customer Service

Hudl

“The work that TGG do is massively valuable to me and to our organisation.”

Tom Vernon

Founder

Right to Dream

“This is a platform that, for me, is a reference for professionals in football.”

Victor Orta

Sporting Director

Sevilla FC

“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

“The panels are always great, to get a feel for how the same role or type of role looks different 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 United

“TGG Live is great. You meet so many different people from so many different clubs, but 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

“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

“It was really good to get different perspectives and different ideas, particularly to do with the Sporting Directors. That really opened up my eyes in terms of what that world looks like.”

Joel Bonner

Post-Match Analyst

Liverpool

“The TGG platform offers a unique combination of selective and insightful content, relevant and topical news, plus an active and engaged network”
