Our Medical Director, Dr Lorena Soler Casale, was invited in June as a guest speaker at the prestigious Sports Summit Madrid, where she joined leading sports medicine professionals from Atlético Madrid and AS Roma to discuss the vital role of medicine, fitness, and physical activity in modern football.

Dr Soler Casale took part in an engaging panel that explored the ever-evolving relationship between sports medicine and elite athletic performance. The discussion focused on the importance of injury prevention, player welfare, physical conditioning, rehabilitation, and the crucial role that medical professionals play in supporting athletes both on and off the pitch.

Sharing the stage alongside experts from two of Europe's most respected football clubs provided an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge, discuss best practices, and highlight the latest developments in sports science and medicine.

As Medical Director of FC Magpies, Dr Soler Casale continues to play a fundamental role in ensuring the health, wellbeing, and performance of our players. Her invitation to speak at such a high-profile event is a testament to her expertise, professionalism, and growing reputation within the international sports medicine community.

At FC Magpies, we remain committed to investing in every aspect of player development, recognising that elite medical care, physical preparation, and evidence-based practice are essential components of success both on and off the field.

We congratulate Dr Lorena Soler Casale on this outstanding achievement and thank her for representing FC Magpies with such distinction on the international stage.
