In early summer 2012, Pedro Proença reached the pinnacle of his refereeing career by officiating both the Champions League and Euro 2012 finals. Now, as he transitions into a critical leadership role in European football administration, he faces a new challenge: the escalating power struggle over the international match calendar between clubs, leagues, and FIFA. 1: What were Pedro Proença's major achievements as a referee? Pedro Proença officiated the 2012 Champions League final and Euro 2012 final, cementing his reputation in European football. He was known for his professionalism and meticulous nature, which earned him respect and recognition across the football community. 2: What impact did Proença have as the president of Liga Portugal? As president of Liga Portugal, Proença transformed the league's management model, making it economically viable and increasing revenues. He introduced innovative changes such as a new League Cup format and improved legal solidity, leading to increased league attendances and financial stability. 3: Why is Proença's new role as President of European Leagues significant? Proença's role as President of European Leagues comes at a critical time when FIFA's unilateral decisions, like the expanded Club World Cup, are causing conflicts. His leadership will be crucial in advocating for more transparent and inclusive governance in football, ensuring all stakeholders have a voice in decisions that affect the international match calendar. #SportsBusiness #Football #SportsBiz #Finance #People #Data #Tech #Intelligence
This Sunday, the Copa América final in Miami will see #Argentina, the current World Champions, go head-to-head with #Colombia. The tournament has brought together national teams from across the hemisphere for what promises to be an exciting final match. In Latin America, soccer is big business, with leagues in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico boasting market valuations of around USD1 billion each. It's no surprise, considering soccer is the most popular sport in the region. While Latin American soccer leagues may not be on the same level as the top European leagues in terms of market value, there are growing opportunities for industries like sports marketing and online betting in the region. However, it's important to acknowledge that not all soccer clubs are created equal. Some have been used as fronts for money laundering by organized crime. Corruption has also been prevalent in the industry. Just a few years ago, bribes amounting to more than USD30 million ensnared South America's governing body for soccer, CONMEBOL. Despite this, soccer, or #fútbol as it is better known, remains a beloved national pastime across the region.

A while ago I read an article in Total Football Analysis from Dylan Jenkins that assessed the use of local players in the 2019/20 Eredivisie season. Inspired by that, I decided to do the same analysis, but for the Portuguese First League (Liga Portugal) during the 22/23 season. Interesting findings: 👉 Half of the Portuguese clubs have played with fewer than two locally-trained players throughout the season. 👉 In 22/23, there’s only one obvious correlation between the use of local players or Portuguese players overall and the final position in the league: six of the teams that managed to play the most players from their academies (five or more) finished in the top half of the table. The exception was Paços de Ferreira that was relegated. 👉 Outside the “big three”, Boavista FC was the club with the better ratio in promoting their youngsters to the first team (from the 14 Portuguese players, 9 were local). 👉 Vitória SC was “the most Portuguese team”, with almost half of the Portuguese players from their academy. 👉 Only three clubs (FC Porto, SL Benfica and Vitória SC) are above average regarding the number of local players in the squad and the average minutes that theses players have been on the pitch. 👉 From the ten local players with the most minutes played in 22/23, seven of them still play for the same club. All the data was collected from FBref (Sports Reference, LLC). #football #analysis #ligaportugal

"Why Football at the Euros Differs from Our Usual Experience" It's time to reconsider how we view international football and adjust our expectations for major tournaments like Euro 2024. Many observers of Euro 2024 have noted a lackluster performance from the usual top teams and star players. There's a prevailing sense that the big names haven't delivered their usual brilliance. Several factors contribute to this perception. In July, while many clubs are starting pre-season training, players involved in the tournament are still competing in Germany, extending their already long season. Some are playing their 60th or even 70th game of the year. This extended season and fatigue play a significant role, especially in matches played during the hottest months of summer. It's important to recognize that the players we see in these international competitions may not be at their peak form, as they are not in the same condition as when they dazzle us in the Champions League or Premier League. This context is crucial when evaluating their performances. For me, tournament football resembles the intensity of the final stretch of a domestic season, where teams are vying for titles, promotion, relegation, or European spots. #NaijaComments #NigeriaEditorial #NaijaInterviews #NigeriaProfiles #NaijaReportage
Get your football boots on if you were born in..... Spring (March to May). 29.6 % of players in UEFA Euro 2024 were born in a spring month, more than in any other month. We know that: ✔ Winter has shorter days, Summer has longer days ✔ Postnatal day length affects your chronotype; are you a morning person or an evening person? ✔ Those born on a longer day = a preference for evening ✔ Different teams have different birth month and chronotype compositions Is it preferable for a football squad to be composed of evening-type players? Let's see who wins...
