This week we mix up The SportBusiness Podcast format and take an in-depth look at OneFootball’s recovery four years on from the NFT deals that nearly sent it under. We interview CEO Patrick Fischer, dissect the verticals of a now ‘asset-light’ business and unearth plenty of financial detail. Plus:
- THE NEWSROOM: Sponsorship controversy aplenty as Aston Villa’s NordVPN deal reignites the piracy debate and Sunderland hold advanced Visit Ghana negotiations. Plus, the streamers end beIN’s hold over LaLiga in France.
- AOB: European Athletics Championships’ swathes of empty seats, dreaming of centralised rights sales in Madeira and Uruguayan football on a collision course.
