Zubeldía to attend heart health in sport seminar at the Maracanã | OneFootball

Coach Luis Zubeldía will be among those attending the second edition of CardioFut 2026, a seminar to be held from June 25 to 27 at the Maracanã, bringing together health and sports professionals to discuss prevention and response to cardiac emergencies in football.

“The seminar will bring together health and sports professionals to discuss prevention, emergency protocols, and medical care in football, with a clear goal: to increase the survival rate of athletes who suffer sudden cardiac arrest while playing sports.”

In addition to panels and lectures with experts, CardioFut will include practical initiatives, such as free care for young athletes from social projects and cardiac evaluations carried out by multidisciplinary teams at the stadium itself during the event.

“A model clinic will be set up at the Maracanã to provide free care to 180 athletes from social projects. There will be 60 appointments per day, including physical exams, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and other assessments carried out by multidisciplinary teams.”

Zubeldía’s presence reinforces the importance of the topic within the sports environment. The Fluminense coach will join doctors, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and representatives of high-performance sport in a program focused on knowledge-sharing and strengthening the culture of prevention in Brazilian football.
