Listen to the English version of this podcast

Cuando la pasión se encuentra con el propósito, ocurre la magia del branding, y Leandro Petersen lo sabe mejor que nadie. Como Director Comercial y de Marketing de la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA), está ayudando a convertir el legado futbolístico de Argentina en un fenómeno de marca global. En este episodio especial bilingüe, Petersen se une a Steve Rosa y Michelle Spriegel para hablar sobre cómo construir una de las marcas más reconocidas en el deporte, desde asociaciones globales y nuevos mercados hasta la narrativa y estrategia que mantienen fuerte el latido del fútbol en Argentina.

En Argentina, el fútbol es más que un deporte; es casi parte de su ADN nacional. Y en el centro de todo está la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA), donde Petersen lidera la transformación de ese pulso cultural en un gigante de negocios global. Desde la influencia mundial de Lionel Messi hasta la expansión de la AFA en mercados como China, India y EE.UU., Petersen comparte cómo la estrategia, la narrativa y la pura pasión están impulsando el ascenso global de Argentina. La conversación se adentra en cómo la AFA planea su nuevo centro de alto rendimiento en Miami y lo que se necesita para mantener la magia viva tanto dentro como fuera del campo.

Mirando hacia el futuro, Petersen tiene su mirada puesta en la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026, que se celebrará en Estados Unidos, México y Canadá. Con la creciente popularidad del fútbol en América del Norte, ve una enorme oportunidad para ampliar el alcance de la AFA durante el torneo. Desde activaciones de marca hasta iniciativas de compromiso con los fanáticos, el enfoque de Petersen es hacer de Argentina no solo el equipo a seguir, sino la experiencia a sentir durante todo el verano de 2026.

En esencia, esta conversación trata sobre cómo la pasión, el patrimonio y el propósito pueden transformar a un equipo en una marca global eterna. La historia de Argentina es prueba de que cuando la emoción se encuentra con la ejecución, el resultado no es solo la victoria, sino el legado.
