  • Football Medicine has become very international over the last years. This does not only refer to research which has always been supranational but also to the community of sport physicians active in the sport of football. Consequently, our advanced educational event will now be offered to a larger group of interested colleagues. For this reason, it has to be held in the English language. Our events in presence will remain primarily German.

  • In modern football, the football physician and team doctor find themselves in a field of tension between the specialization of skills and knowledge, but also the need to provide integrally medical care for the player. The interdisciplinary medical care of football players has become a task that requires not only a team physician experienced and versed in football, but also an environment and network of other medical disciplines and expertise. With our football medicine advanced training of the DFB we try to meet the requirements and necessities of a doctor in football.
