Star Footballers Brew Up New Goals: Why More Players Are Opening Cafes as Side Businesses

Investing in a café also opens doors to diverse networking opportunities, both within and outside the hospitality industry. Running a business brings the player into contact with other entrepreneurs, suppliers, event organizers, and local officials. These connections can broaden the athlete’s horizons, diversify their interests, and potentially lead to other business ventures. By weaving themselves into the community’s fabric, footballers often find new projects, collaborations, and causes they are passionate about pursuing.
