CIES was created in 1995 by researchers Raffaele Poli and Loïc Ravenel as a joint venture between FIFA, the University of Neuchâtel, and the City and State of Neuchâtel.[1]

CIES organizes and offers a one-year postgraduate sports executive program, endorsed by FIFA,[7] which consists of three modules that are taught across three universities in Europe, and concludes with a final project.
