• As with previous years the conference will be open to those presenting on football of any code.
• Abstracts are welcomed on any football related topic (football of ALL codes)
• Abstracts are welcomed from researchers from any discipline.

Panel – One hour twenty minutes: three presenters and a moderator on a related theme with specific time for individual presentations within the session agreed by the moderator including allowance for questions at the end to the group.
