Back in 2017, Prof. Dr. Alfons Madeja - founder of the Bundesliga Barometer and Managing Director of SLC Management (SLC) - was the initiator of the Bundesliga Future Summit together with partners TÜV Rheinland (host partner) and Sport Bild (media partner) - Europe's highest-circulation sports magazine. The invitation was taken up by big names from the world of sport such as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Dr. Reinhard Rauball (see picture), as well as representatives from business, politics and media, to discuss forward-looking topics relating to the Bundesliga. While Professor Madeja and the SLC positioned themselves early on as trendsetters with a far-sighted view, the scenario of a global virus paralyzing the Bundesliga and the world of sports was not part of the discussion at the time.
