This is HUGE news! As much as I believe that the move to professionalization is needed to move the sport forward, the lack of clubs within certain areas/regions is concerning. As someone who is involved in netball in Scotland, I fear this could have huge implications. Not only at an elite level, but particularly at grassroots, through player pathways, and for umpires and coaches. I am excited to see what the new era of netball brings, however I do hope there are plans in the near future to ensure that the Super League is accessible for and representative of the whole of the UK (including Scotland, NI, the South West, etc). #NetballSuperLeague #SportDevelopment

In May of #2022 (before the Lionesses took over the mainstream media for their success at the #Euros), I tipped off my research for my final MBA project around #women’s #sport #sponsorship. One of the most exciting findings of my project was the debate about bundling vs unbundling men’s and women’s programs. ‘One Team, One Program’ was one of the 11 factors that I identified influence rightsholders/clubs in resolving the debate. Arsenal F.C is leading the charge in solidifying the ‘One Club’ philosophy not only for sponsorships but for ticketing programs too. ⚽What has happened? Emirates Stadium will become Arsenal F.C Women’s main home next season! 👉🏼8 out of 11 WSL home fixtures will be played at the Emirates 👉🏼3 UEFA CL matches + knockout rounds matches too 🤩Why has it happened? Extraordinary growth in attendance at the games hosted at the Emirates (52k fans averaged in the last 6 WSL matches) 🔥What’s the significance of this move? The transition showcases sustainable growth and increasing commercial viability of the women’s game and how solid integration with established men’s programs can make it a win-win situation for the club overall #womenssports #womensfootball #2024

At the weekend the 6 Nations concluded with a nail-biting match between France and England. France came out on top, but the real winners were the Lyon crowd, we were great! The atmosphere in and outside the stadium was fantastic.   This is a similar model to the NFL playing overseas, playing club rugby away from the regular home ground. Saracens will do this at the weekend at the Tottenham Hotspur FC stadium. Harlequins also do this once or twice a season using Twickenham Stadium.   These events produce significant revenue if they can sell out the stadium, but it also gives the fans a new top level experience. I had a conversation not so long ago about Super Rugby doing the same, imagine The Crusaders playing The Waratahs in LONDON! A stadium would sell out easily and the atmosphere would be electric. Which TV station would televise the game globally? The fan experience would be great and new fans would be identified for the teams plus the clubs would get a significant – and much needed – financial boost.   Data is the bedrock of confidence in executing such events and Sobirho is at the forefront, leading teams to excel in this endeavour.   #6Nations #FrenchRugby #EnglandRugby Sobirho Saracens Group Harlequins Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Crusaders NSW Waratahs #sportsbusiness #nfl #data #ai #insights #sportsanalytics #TheShowdown4

This is one of the best sports business podcasts I’ve listened to. This episode has everything and lifts the lid on the inner workings of a football club, something which is often a mystery to many fans. Jonathan Turner demonstrates the value of transferable skills - from a background in Tech to becoming a board member of a top Premier League football club. He discusses the challenges of balancing on-pitch performance, running a sustainable business, putting the fans first, and delivering value to shareholders. The episode also explores the similarities between customer acquisition and growing a global fan base, and how football clubs can operate more like technology businesses. #SportsBusiness #Football #Tech #Leadership #PremierLeague

"Long possessions: if you can or are allowed, they lead to success." Our recent analysis of 15 seasons in LALIGA EA Sports reveals that the key lies in combination play. Teams that dominate with more than 6 passes in their sequences tend to be in the Top 5, while those with short sequences of 0 to 2 passes often find themselves in the Bottom 5. However, it's not always by choice; many teams can't maintain a combination play due to defensive pressure or a lack of player quality, forcing them into a more direct approach. This consistent pattern shows that a combination play strategy is crucial for football success, although sometimes a direct approach masks an inability to do more. The numbers don't lie! 🔍 Learn more about it: https://lnkd.in/dBEYyQ7W #LaLiga #Football #DataAnalysis #CombinationPlay #DirectPlay #GameStrategy #TeamPerformance #Sports #LinkedInSports
