The University of Miami School of Law recently welcomed FIFA President Gianni Infantino as a special guest in the Entertainment, Arts, and Sports Law Program. His visit was part of the school’s new course on soccer law, co-taught by Emilio Garcia Silvero, FIFA’s chief legal and compliance officer, and Enric Ripoll, founder of ER Sports Law. Infantino shared insights on the impact and importance of his legal training and the role FIFA plays in governing and developing soccer worldwide and answered student questions. FIFA’s recent relocation of its Legal and Compliance division to Miami further reflects its global philosophy. “We welcome FIFA as our new neighbors in Coral Gables and look forward to future collaborations,” said Greg Levy, program director. “Much gratitude to President Gianni Infantino, Emilio Garcia Silvero, and Enric Ripoll for their time and dedication to shaping the next generation of soccer industry leaders.”
