Leaders in Football, the world's most exclusive football business event, taking place for the second time at Chelsea FC on 7th and 8th October 2009, is delighted to announce that Harold Mayne-Nicholls, former FIFA Executive and President of the Chilean Football Federation and Professional Football League, will deliver an exclusive interview covering the specific challenges faced by Chile (and other developing football nations) within a region dominated by some of the most successful countries in the world.

Mayne-Nicholls has been involved in South American football for nearly 10 years and, during that time, and since his appointment to the role of President in January 2007, he has delivered a number of high profile and innovative projects. These include a successful U-20 FIFA Women's World Cup, the launch of a new TV channel 'Canal del Fútbol', and a number of significant social responsibility projects that have connected the Federation with the millions of grassroots supporters.

Mayne-Nicholls' appointment to the main conference stage at Leaders in Football follows other high profile names such as Jeremy Darroch, CEO of BSkyB; Jack Warner the President of Concacaf; Andy Roxburgh, Technical Director, UEFA; Sunil Gulati, President, United States Soccer Federation; Lord Triesman, Chairman, The Football Association; Tim Leiweke, President and CEO of AEG and Lord Mawhinney, Chairman of The Football League.
