Key figures from UEFA member national associations and women's football in Europe will gather for the KISS Women's Football Development Workshop running from Friday to Sunday in Stockholm in the lead-up to the UEFA Women's EURO 2013 final at Solna's Friends Arena.
UEFA's Knowledge & Information Sharing Scenario (KISS) programme has been in operation since 2005 and during this latest three-day event, at the Hilton Stockholm Guldgränd hotel, a wide range of topics will be covered. The first day's discussions will span the subjects of recruitment and retention, development campaigns, volunteers, ambassadors, amateur league structures and professionalisation. Speakers will include former Germany captain Steffi Jones and UEFA Executive Committee members Karen Espelund and Michael van Praag.
On Saturday such issues as the competition calendar, league and club development, goalkeeping and cultural barriers are on the agenda, as well as a meeting for national association general secretaries. Then on Sunday women's football development, governmental support and marketing take centre stage, before delegates attend the final at 16.00CET in Solna.
