The SBC Summit Latin America will take place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Miami, from October 29 to 31.
Press release.- The former Colombian goalkeeper and the man behind the historic ‘scorpion’, René Higuita, will deliver the opening speech to 4,000 attendees at the upcoming edition of SBC Summit Latin America.
The conference, titled “Fearless Football: The Revolutionary Impact of René Higuita”, will kick off the conference program on Wednesday, October 30, the main first day of the event, which will be held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino from October 29 to 31.
In addition, Andrea Rossi, commercial director of Betsson LatAm, will conduct the interview. Earlier this year, Betsson appointed Higuita as its brand ambassador and collaborated with SBC to bring the iconic goalkeeper to the stage of SBC Summit Latin America.
Higuita will provide delegates with a firsthand account of his experience as a professional footballer in South America, detailing his innovative approach, the famous “scorpion” and his decision to play mainly in South America throughout his career. Furthermore, Higuita will discuss the powerful lessons his career offers to drive change, challenge conventions, and stay at the forefront of today's rapidly evolving sports landscape.
Before his appearance at the event, Higuita stated: “Over the last decade, sports fans have gained unprecedented access to more games than ever before, along with detailed analyses of athletes and the ability to express opinions on social media globally. Having observed the evolution of football and the general sports landscape over the last fifty years, I am excited to offer delegates an exclusive perspective on South American football and the rich cultural developments that have shaped it”.
Born in Medellín, Colombia, René Higuita began his football career in 1985 when he joined the Colombian football team Millonarios. Although his time at the club only lasted one season, it was notable for Higuita, as he scored seven goals in just 16 appearances, a remarkable feat considering his role as a goalkeeper.
In 1986, Higuita moved to Atlético Nacional, where he played 112 matches and was first called up to the national team for the Copa América in 1989 and the FIFA World Cup in 1990, where he played a decisive role in helping Colombia reach the round of 16 for the first time in the country's history.
A year after returning from the 1990 World Cup, Higuita moved to Real Valladolid, where he played for two seasons, before returning to Atlético Nacional in 1993. In 1997, he moved to Veracruz and in 1999, the same year of his last international call-up for the Copa América in 1999, Higuita joined Independiente Medellín, where he scored 11 goals in 20 appearances.
In his last decade as a professional footballer, Higuita would play for several South American clubs, including Real Cartagena (2000-2001), Atlético Junior (2001-2002), Deportivo Pereira (2002-2003), Aucas (2004), Guaros FC (2007) and Deportivo Rionegro (2008), before retiring at Deportivo Pereira in 2009.

After retiring from competitive football, Higuita transitioned to a career as a professional coach. In December 2008, he was appointed goalkeeper coach of his former club, Real Valladolid. Later he joined the Saudi club Al Nassr FC, where he served from 2011 to 2016. In 2017, Higuita fulfilled a dream: returning to Atlético Nacional, taking on the role of goalkeeper coach at the club where he spent many of his formative years as a player.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and founder of SBC, said: “As a great football fan, it is an incredible honor to have such a legendary player at SBC Summit Latin America. Higuita is widely credited with pioneering the role of the libero goalkeeper, transforming the position with his bold style of play and inspiring millions of people”.
