The ESSMA is a non profit association whose aim is to create a network of members to promote information sharing to help them optimise the management and operation of their stadium.

The ESSMA has the mission to offer the association's members the opportunity to discuss common issues and various approaches to tackling them.

The ESSMA's wealth resides in the variety of its members, which allows the association to draw on diverse original approaches from different European countries to benefit from a more global perspective of the problems related to running stadiums
