Jyväskylässä 11.-12.5. järjestetty ensimmäinen @NorFootballConf houkutteli tieteellisen jalkapallokeskustelun pariin yli 170 osallistujaa. ⚽️

Konferenssi yhdisti eritaustaisia jalkapallotoimijoita niin onnistuneesti, että jatkoa lienee luvassa. ⤵️

In the closing ceremony, @misiszerovay (chair) thanked the organizing committee (https://t.co/3rqSqWYyXi), all the speakers, and of course, the crowd, who always had plenty to ask.

Thank you @JYUsport_health and all participants for coming, it was a wonderful conference! ☺️

#Nordicfootball2022 was concluded by @jonawils who opened with a fascinating outlook into the character of the Argentinian footballer, discussed various themes with interviewer @VPInkila and finally, engaging with the crowd questions, delved into the direction football is going.

It was our pleasure to have Bente Skogvang from @HiInnlandet at #Nordicfootball2022. Dr Skogvang, a pioneer of football refereeing and the women's game herself, gave an enthusiastic keynote speech on the growth of Nordic women's football since the 1980's.

Thank you!

Arto Nevala gave his keynote on football's history as a game and a social phenomenon, contrasting its changes with the macro-level developments in society.

Nevala's ideas sparked the #Nordicfootball2022 to further debate on the fragmented definition of 'football culture'.
