I am not quite sure what Andretti thinks the end-game is here, but it is not the approach I would have taken. After being rejected by FOM for entry into the sport in 2025 as an additional team, they were given the opportunity to re-apply after 2026 when Cadillac said they would be able to produce an engine for the car. This sounds reasonable to me, as the real benefit to the sport is the addition of GM as a power unit supplier. Basically, they are saying "prove to us that the GM/Cadillac is a real opportunity". Equipped with this information, Andretti had the choice of accepting this and working very closely with FOM, FIA, and GM to come up with a strategy that works for all parties to enter the sport, which could include the purchase of an existing team if the #1 objective was to get into the sport. However, I don't feel that is the key objective, as Andretti wants to enter the sport at the bargain rate of the $200 million "anti-dilution fee" of a new team, instead of paying the $1+ billion value of an existing team. Instead of working together on a solution, Andretti are choosing to use the US Congress to put pressure on FOM to force them to allow Andretti to enter the sport as the 11th team. This very short-sighted view is going to have long-term consequences as the FOM will not be willing to work collectively on a solution, but will now rather not have a group put pressure on their business model and force their way in. Think about what FOM can do to Andretti and their partners if they are allowed into the sport, there will be real animosity towards the team, and they will not be given the courtesy of competing equally. There will be real consequences as they don't call F1 the "Piranha Club" for nothing. If I was hired to do the consultancy on this issue, I would suggest backing off and going to FOM in a humble manner, ask for forgiveness, and work towards a mutual solution. This will be fun to watch! https://lnkd.in/eQsYDSjJ

Here are some challenges the sports world is currently facing and will face soon: 🏟 Costs of Organizing Competitions: After the record-high costs of the Sochi Games, there is a consensus to achieve "more with less." The upcoming Paris and LA Games will test whether this approach is effective. 🏒 Professionalization of Athletes: Athletes' unions are actively working to recognize athletes' economic activities at both national and international levels, along with the benefits that come with it. ⚖ Governance: Good #governance principles are still lacking globally. Corruption scandals continue to emerge despite public efforts to prevent them. Court decisions have allowed certain stakeholders to demand more influence, but the absence of basic governance standards will continue to challenge sports autonomy. 🗺 Globalization: The debate continues between adopting an American or European sports model or a hybrid solution to support worldwide expansion, balancing the professional and social aspects of sports. 🕹 Match Fixing: Advanced algorithms will help NFs and governing bodies in detecting fraud. The rise of AI is expected to anticipate many attempts before they occur. 🏥 Anti-Doping: Recent initiatives proposing competitions without doping controls have disrupted the sports ecosystem. The success of these initiatives depends on the monetization of broadcasting and marketing revenues. ▶ Dual Career: Despite efforts from companies, few former athletes secure positions beyond sales or administration. Improved training conditions have extended athletes' careers, making it harder for older athletes to transition to the labor market. 🚺 Women’s Sports: Issues such as pregnancy and maternity rights, gender-based violence, solidarity, and equal pay have been long-standing. 🗣 Stakeholder Representation: Athletes, teams, and leagues are advocating for more independent, democratic, and effective representation. Following the introduction of NIL in the USA and the IOC’s Rule 40 regulating athletes’ commercial activities (including image rights and data), athletes will increasingly demand more opportunities to exploit their rights. ⚽ New Leagues: The push to end the monopoly of sports bodies (mostly in Europe) has elicited varied reactions within the sports ecosystem, encouraging some leagues and clubs to hope for systemic change, including different revenue redistribution. Conversely, to protect the value of established brands, owners and organizers will attempt to limit competition from new entities. 💸 Expansion of Private Equity (PE): The influx of capital into European sports clubs and leagues favored by USD/EUR FX is gradually reshaping the European sports landscape. These challenges highlight the complex and evolving nature of the sports industry. Addressing them will require collaboration among stakeholders, innovative solutions, and a commitment to fairness and integrity.

Really interesting takeaways here on the psychological impact that sports sponsorships have on fan preference for the brands that sponsor their favourite teams/players. One point that stands out to me is the cognitive aspect, where the values that a fan admires in their favourite team often merge with the brand that supports them. This creates a strong image for the brand in the fan's mind that strengthens over time simply because of their association with a sports entity that holds specific values. Are their any sponsorships that come to your mind when reading these observations? #SportsMarketing #FanEngagement #Sponsorship

TRU-MOTION is a game changer (I know, everyone says that) But, imagine creating a new way of experiencing a game LIVE. Not being restricted to broadcast cameras angles. Choose any player’s POV. Video games can have the data so the players move like the real players. Coaches and analysts can do their stuff from any angle. Pundits can use it live. Real-time offside calls. Fans can stick a VR headset on in hospitality and be in the centre circle. Loads of possibilities. And as for the commercials? Genuinely a new sports rights revenue stream…already in the MLS, who’s next? #soccerex #sportsbiz #sportstech

Meet Opta Points, and be prepared to engage football fans like never before. It's Stats Perform's transparent new way of measuring player impact, live in-play. So many storytelling and gamification angles that make multiple games more interesting, because every player counts! For example, across last night's LaLiga and EPL games: 🏆 Most points: a goalkeeper, in a team that WON 5-0... (and who's just returned from nearly a year out injured) 🆚 The top ten highest points-scoring players include one from every position, creating fascinating new ways to compare 🔥 Multiple Real Madrid players were influential. Sadly only 2 Spurs players in the top 20 although also only 2 Man City players despite their 0-2 win.. check the link to see who. Opta Points enables comparisons within teams, within games, across leagues, across nations, across men's and women's football. Play around with it here, get ready to record all the fan engagement ideas it will trigger and get in touch to find out more! https://lnkd.in/dQKTbGkf

🌍 Big thanks to Ecofoot.fr 🇫🇷 for the insightful exchange on football club lobbying! It's a topic that isn't just for the big names in European football. 🏟 𝐋𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬. It can sometimes correct overly broad policies and align with the general interest. Every club, regardless of size, engages in lobbying and has access to public authorities and elected officials. A well-managed club, for example, often hosts its mayor at the stadium, maintaining strong local ecosystem relations regardless of its ownership structure. In our recent discussion, we covered clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, Standard de Liège, FC Shakhtar Donetsk, FK Ventspils, Manchester City Football Club, or Real Madrid C.F., showing that strategic advocacy is diverse and widespread. 📚 If you're keen to go more in depth into who represents these clubs in Europe and how effective lobbying benefits all levels of the football pyramid, check out our latest insights in our LTT Sports #PitchSideMonitor 🔍 Enjoy the read, and let's keep pushing for transparency and mutual benefits in football lobbying! #Football #Lobbying #SportsManagement #Ecofoot Anthony Alyce
