Discover our journey and mission in the football finance world.
Founded in 2025 by a group of passionate Bocconi University students, SIFF emerged from a simple observation: the world of football finance was rapidly evolving, but academic resources and student communities focused on this intersection did not exist.
What started as informal discussions about transfer market economics and Financial Fair Play regulations has grown into a thriving international network of students dedicated to building expertise in the industry through active working partnerships with leading firms.
Currently representing 25 members, we plan to expand across Europe and the United States to create an international student-led association engaging in partnerships at the highest level and preparing the next generation of football finance professionals.
To bridge the gap between academic theory and industry practice as the first student led football finance association world wide, empowering students with the knowledge, skills, and network needed to drive innovation in the sports economy.
To be the leading global platform for student-driven research and education in football finance, shaping the future of sports economics through innovative thinking and collaborative excellence.
