The former footballer is the first speaker to confirm his presence at the third edition of the event.

From an internationally renowned player to a prominent figure in the football industry, Deco is the first confirmed speaker for the third edition of the Thinking Football Summit, scheduled to take place between September 12^th and 14^th at the Super Bock Arena in Porto, Portugal.

The conference, which shall discuss the current and future key topics of football, will feature a former footballer who had a notable career on the biggest stages of world football – including in the city where the event will occur - and who, today, continues to be connected to the sport beyond the field.

Deco, with internationally recognized career achievements, both with the Portuguese national team and clubs such as FC Porto, FC Barcelona, and Chelsea FC, is an important name in the football industry. In the Summer of 2023, he took on the role of Sporting Director for the Catalan giants. The return of the legendary midfielder comes at a delicate moment in the history of the Spanish club, dealing with the aftermath of Lionel Messi's departure, and financial restructuring to save the club's finances, all while striving to maintain its position among football's elite.
