For the fourth consecutive year, LaSource is thrilled to renew its partnership with the World Football Summit (WFS), reinforcing our commitment to driving innovation and shaping the future of football. As a long-standing partner of the event, we are proud to continue supporting WFS in its mission to foster meaningful conversations, connections, and progress within the global football industry.
A Continued Commitment to Innovation in Football
Our collaboration with WFS has always been rooted in a shared vision: using innovation and technology to enhance the sport we love. Through our work in sports tech, we strive to help industry stakeholders - from clubs and leagues to investors and startups - navigate and embrace the evolving digital landscape of football.
As part of our renewed partnership, LaSource will once again be the Presenting Partner of the ‘Best Sports Tech Startup’ Award at the WFS Awards 2025. This award celebrates the most promising and disruptive startups shaping the future of sports technology.
We were honoured to present this award to worthy winners in the past years, such as Camb.AI and turfcoach in 2024 and 2023 respectively!
Applications are now open, and we encourage all ambitious sports tech innovators to submit their entries here.

Expanding Our Role Across WFS Rabat, 2025
This year, our renewed partnership with WFS extends beyond the prestigious WFS Awards that we have been presenting at WFS Europe. We are thrilled to be participating at WFS Rabat this year, taking place on April 9-10, 2025, where we will actively contribute to discussions shaping the future of football in Africa.
Our Chief Strategy Officer, JB Alliot, will be attending the summit, engaging in key conversations around sports innovation, investment, and the evolution of football across the continent.
In collaboration with Evosport and UM6P, JB will take part in a high-level panel discussion focused on technology, investment, and Morocco’s long-term vision for football. This session will explore how innovation and strategic planning can drive sustainable growth and position Morocco as a global football hub, especially as the region gears up to host the FIFA World Cup 2030
