ESSMA's 25th ANNIVERSARY

Ever since 1996, ESSMA has strived to bring the stadium industry together and create a network for stadium professionals in Europe. At first, ESSMA was a small organization that shared insights in preparation of the 1998 World Cup in France.  Today, it’s a broad association, bringing together over 3275 stadium professionals on a regular basis. From the start, the goal has been to create a network for stadium professionals in Europe.

2021 is the year where ESSMA celebrates its 25th anniversary! Throughout 2021, we'll share our highlights since 1996.
