The conference addressed some of the most pressing challenges in modern sports medicine, including traumatic brain injury, concussion management, artificial intelligence, emerging medical technologies, women’s health, nutrition, injury prevention and rehabilitation.

As part of the panel on traumatic brain injury, chaired by Dr Allen Sills, Chief Medical Officer of the NFL, Florent Aziri presented on **”Precision Medicine in Neurology: From Binary Concussion Diagnosis to Precision Brain Health in Elite Sport.”**

Particular emphasis was placed on integrating objective measures such as blood biomarkers, neuroimaging, EEG, sleep assessments and cognitive testing to develop more individualised approaches to brain health.

**For SAFP, participation in this international summit reflects its commitment to advancing evidence-based player healthcare, strengthening international collaboration and ensuring that the long-term health and well-being of football players remain a central priority.**
