Maven delivering conference interpretation support to the Asian Football Confederation.

Our track record

Maven supports international sports federations and governing bodies with language solutions tailored to the unique demands of global sports administration. We understand the sports environment — the regulatory complexity, the need for speed during competitions and events, the sensitivity of disciplinary and integrity matters, and the multilingual nature of the sporting community.

Our decade-long partnership with the Asian Football Confederation, the largest and most diverse football federation, has been central to our work in this sector. Many of our engagements involve disciplinary hearings, integrity investigations, and legal matters where accuracy, confidentiality, and impartiality are non-negotiable.
