With the recent rulings from the 🇪🇺 European court and changes in the new European competition landscape, the potential consolidation of Central Eastern European football appears to be leaning towards #TheThreeSeasFootballLeague #3Si #4seas 🇦🇹 🇧🇬 🇨🇿 🇭🇷 🇪🇪 🇬🇷 🇭🇺 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇵🇱 🇷🇴 🇸🇰 🇸🇮 Excited for the upcoming Football Forum Hungary where we'll exchange insights on this club concept. Last week, we shared a review in the #PitchSideMonitor of a pioneering concept based on the #MitropaCup presented at the previous edition on the invitation of Hunor Dudás, offering inspiration for clubs in Hungary.

This trend is significantly impacting the sports industry, influencing the value of broadcast rights and the challenges it presents in adapting to evolving expectations and technologies. 🏆 The competition between digital platforms and traditional broadcasters for exclusive content is reshaping the market. Premiumisation results in increased revenue for top clubs and leagues but also exacerbates economic disparities and affects the relationships between elite #Big5 clubs and the smaller #Bottom49. ⚽️ #FootballFuture #ThreeSeasLeague #3seas #4seas #PitchSideMonitor #FutureOfFootball #CentralEasternEurope

North Korea began broadcasting the Paris 2024 Olympics ten days after the opening ceremony, having obtained broadcast rights from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after South Korean broadcasters ceased support. The IOC agreed to provide coverage to North Korea's Radio and Television Broadcasting Committee, allowing it to bypass the need to negotiate with South Korean broadcaster SBS, which held exclusive rights. North Korean broadcasts included approximately seven minutes of news and a delayed 50-minute segment of mixed doubles table tennis. The IOC stated it was unaware of any technical issues causing the delay, suggesting it was an internal decision by North Korea. During broadcasts, North Korea obscured the U.S. flag while displaying the flags of Canada and China, a move reflecting concerns about foreign imagery undermining regime cohesion. As of August 7, North Korea has secured five medals at the Olympics, including two silver and three bronze, ranking 50th overall. #AsiaRisk #NorthKorea #SouthKorea Follow us for daily updates on risk and operations in Asia! https://lnkd.in/g9maqj9c

New research from Ampere's Danni Moore and Chloé NG-Triquet shows that the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris is on track to reach its $1.34bn sponsorship revenue target, which would represent a 60% increase in sponsorship revenues compared to the Tokyo Olympic Games of 2020. Media rights remains the more valuable revenue stream, accounting for 71% of the total revenue generated by sponsorship and TV deals. However, the gap is closing. In 2020, the #InternationalOlympicCommittee generated nearly 4 times more revenue for the sale of media rights than sponsorship. But in 2024, Ampere expects income from the sale of media rights to be 2.5 times higher than sponsorship - the latter being boosted by large-value deals such as those struck with #Airbnb, #Alibaba and #Mengniu Dairy.
