Leaders' Editorial Director James Emmett and Content Director David Cushnan share what’s worth knowing in the global sports industry this week. They’re joined by Juan Delgado, CEO of Footballco, the 350-person digital media company that owns and operates online brands such as GOAL, Mundial and Kooora. He explains how audiences consuming football content are growing and morphing into fully-fledged communities, the monetisation models underpinning that growth and the football content trends and markets he’s keeping tabs on. Elsewhere there’s time to reflect on the era of real estate-focused sports team owners and Fanatics’ plan to open its first global flagship collectibles and merchandise store, on London’s Regent Street.
