We’re proud to have colleagues in cities across the globe – from Shanghai to Washington D.C., São Paulo to Paris, Cologne or Berlin. But sometimes, a local event takes center stage, especially for our teams in Germany. Last night’s #DFBPokal round of sixteen between 1. FC Köln and Hertha BSC GmbH & Co. KGaA was one such moment. For Cologne, it was historic: the team secured its spot in the quarterfinals for the first time in 15 years. 🎉 Congratulations! And for Berlin? A hard-fought match worth every cheer. With offices in both cities, the excitement within our company was palpable – two of our home bases, one intense rivalry. But high-stakes games like these don’t just bring drama and celebration; they also raise important questions: ✈️ What’s the environmental cost of travel for matches like these? 💡 How can clubs and players use their platform to address sustainability and social issues? In our report in collaboration with Sport Positive, we explore football’s unmatched global influence and its potential to lead the way in tackling today’s challenges. A few highlights: ✅ Why #sustainability conversations reach millions but often fall short of deeper engagement. ✅ How clubs like Liverpool Football Club and players like Vinícius Jr. #ViniJr inspire global audiences through impactful initiatives. ✅ What steps are needed to turn the world’s most popular sport into a driver for societal change. Dive into our findings and see how football – and other sports – can make a difference. 👉 Access the football-focused version of the report here: https://lnkd.in/e4tw_Nhe 📢 What’s your take?

Presentation. Pitching. Performance. With unique insights from broadcast, commentary and event hosting in elite sport and TV, I help teams and leaders ace presentation, perfect their pitches and perform at their best.
One night this week, I went searching for something special… and found true love on the 51st floor of the stunning #CapitaSpring building in Singapore’s CBD. The venue, decked out in black and yellow, was buzzing with energy and passion for a party celebrating Borussia Dortmund (BVB), the German Bundesliga club known for embodying the ideal of echte liebe, or true love. For most clubs, the phrase might be reserved for their connection with fans. But for BVB, this love runs much deeper. The 10-year anniversary of BVB’s Singapore office (servicing APAC) was more than just a milestone; it was a celebration of relationships that go far beyond football. - Stakeholders, from commercial partners to leagues and CSR organizations, all echoed a similar sentiment: their relationships with Borussia Dortmund feels collaborative, not transactional. - Commercial partners raved about the club’s authentic brand values, not just the exposure they get from partnering with a major football club, but the meaningful engagement and community impact they experience. - I reminded the audience that young talents Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland have spoken about choosing BVB for more than just the football; they felt something magical at Dortmund that goes beyond just performance. This "true love" Dortmund exudes is about community, culture, and collaboration. From their CSR partnerships with the A.M.M. Foundation in India, which nurtures grassroots football, to their dynamic engagement with Bundesliga International GmbH, BVB has built a reputation for being a club that genuinely cares. Their brand isn’t just about winning; it’s about leaving a positive, lasting imprint on everyone they touch. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with many clubs and organisations in my career. But what struck me at this event was how consistently people talked about BVB’s commitment to building long-lasting relationships. It’s not just a football club; it’s a movement, one that inspires true loyalty from fans, players, and partners alike. As someone who often speaks about brand identity, collaboration, and leadership, BVB’s influence continues to resonate deeply with me. Their approach is one I regularly reference in my keynote talks and training sessions, because it’s rare to see this level of authenticity and commitment in sport and business. If there’s one thing to take away from this celebration, it’s that true love -- whether in football or in life -- can only grow through genuine connection, shared values, and relentless dedication to a bigger purpose. #BorussiaDortmund #Bundesliga #TrueLove #FootballForGood #BrandIdentity #EchteLiebe #BlackAndYellow #CommunityFirst Dr. Suresh Letchmanan Veeru Murugappan Kevin Sim

“Building a Diverse Future for Sports” was the motto of yesterday's Hamburg Sports Summit. Perfectly executed! Intersectionality and a wealth of thought leadership from across the globe were present at the iconic Elbphilharmonie building. Some points which resonated: 💡 Speaking on agency and impacting change at the highest level, Professor Laura McAllister CBE, FLSW, FRSA, UEFA Executive Committee: Agency is what you do when you are at the table of power and how you influence change. Within the positions of power, the industry is in a huge deficit of diversity across gender, race, and cognitive thinking. 💡 Dr. Anne-Katrin Huebel on the business case for women’s football: Our internal metrics of success show we are over-indexing (speaking about Google Pixel x Frauen Bundesliga and national team partnership). This demonstrates how an investment in women’s football is guaranteed to be good business. 💡 Thomas Hitzlsperger on representation in decision-making positions: The industry, led by white men, needs to self-reflect and ask how they can invite and include marginalised groups in rooms of power. There are only business benefits and uplift on the other side of that decision. Be reflective. 💡 Elsa Arapi and Glen Killane on free-to-air women’s sports trends: Football and cycling show the most visible growth on EBU/Eurovision Sports, with the biggest growth potential across the board in women’s sports. Opportunity for broadcasters include capitalising on the connecting points of the big events to build sustained engagement for fans and the sporting product (league cups, etc.). Thanks to 🔵🟡 Julia Olbrisch for the invitation and congratulations to the whole team at FUSSBALL KANN MEHR gGmbH for platforming forward-thinking as a good case for business and society. I look forward to seeing the level set at the next event. #sports #Diversity #FussballKannMehr #Goodforbusiness #Womensports #strongertogether #hhsportssummit24

It was a great honor to once again serve as a jury member for the HORIZONT Sports Business Leaders Award and to host the preceding workshop on the future of professional women’s football in Germany. 🙏 The intimate and exceptional atmosphere at the rowing club, combined with the presence of distinguished guests, makes the Horizont Award a much-anticipated highlight in the event calendar. A big thank you to Uwe, Markus, and their amazing team for making it all possible! 👏👏 I'm delighted to see the growing popularity of the workshop. In three separate panels, we discussed the future path of women’s football from the perspectives of clubs/leagues/federations, sponsors, and media, examining the opportunities and risks that lie ahead. ⚽ While the discussions were insightful, I would have liked to see some more radical ideas put on the table. 💡 I believe women’s football is truly at a crossroads: either we unlock its great potential by doing things differently than men’s football, or women’s football risks remaining in the shadow of the men's game. The long-established structures in men’s football offer tremendous synergies for clubs with both men’s and women’s teams, but this legacy also limits the innovative and independent development of the women’s game. 🚀 There was consensus that substantial financial investment is needed for women’s football to grow. 💰 But where will these funds come from? It’s clear that exponential growth cannot be financed solely from within the football industry. 🌍 External investors will need a new narrative—or perhaps even a new sport—one with more technology in the game, a different stadium experience, and possibly new rules and entertainment elements. 🎮🏟️ We need to decide where we want to go. Continuing on the current path will likely lead to incremental growth and a convergence of women’s football with the men’s game. That’s not necessarily a bad outcome, but we need to be clear and honest about it—so there are no surprises down the road. 💬 Daniel Lugner #WomensFootball #SportsBusiness #FutureOfFootball #InnovationInSport #FootballInvestment #Leadership #WomenInSport #SportsManagement
