Marco Sansoni is an expert in the role of spectators in sports events, steeped in expertise in both Fan Experience and Fan Engagement. He’s a former Senior Advisor to the World Cup in Brazil, worked in senior spectator roles in some of the biggest sports events in the World including the Summer and Winter Olympics, for FIFA advising on spectator services, and now teaches at the prestigious Luiss Business School in Rome. 

He’s doing a lot of thinking about the role of fans and spectators, distilled in a concept called ‘Spectatorship. We had a lot to talk about, and this is the first of what I hope will be many conversations between us about the role of fans in football - and sport more widely - and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed having the conversation.
