We are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive live interview with Debola Adebanjo, Campaigns and Internal Communications Manager at FIFPRO, on Thursday, September 5th, at 5pm CEST.
With a decade of experience in the industry, Debola has made significant strides at organizations like the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), where she covered diverse sports stories across Africa. Her work has not only provided a platform for underreported athletes but has also enriched the global sports narrative. Currently, she continues her impactful journey at FIFPRO, the global football players union, enhancing player engagement and brand partnerships.
The Nigerian’s career began in 2012 when she decided to pivot from microbiology to media, a bold move that led her to become a self-taught freelancer in presenting, analysis, and reporting. Her passion for sports and media also led to the creation of Media Masters, a non-profit organization aimed at helping young people start careers in media. In July 2022 she graduated with merit from the prestigious International Master in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport, a.k.a. the FIFA Master.
This interview will dive deep into Debola’s strategies for storytelling, her approach to digital media and partnerships, and her vision for the future of sports journalism. Whether you're a budding journalist, a sports enthusiast, or simply intrigued by the power of media in shaping sports culture, this session promises rich insights and inspiration.
