💡Etihad's sponsorship of Mumbai City FC, a club affiliated with City Football Group perfectly compliments the brand's partnership with Manchester City Football Club 💡I had talked about how Etihad was using the association with Man City to promote flights to India. This new association helps them capitalize the market even more 💡Etihad recognizes India as a key market, anticipating a significant 20% growth in passenger volume from India within the next year. To cater to this demand, they plan to deploy their remaining 10,000 weekly seat capacity 💡UAE has emerged as the top tourist destination from India and vice-versa. India ranked top in terms of the number of passengers with a total of 11.9 million visitors to Dubai in 2023. This association could help Etihad build position itself as the carrier of choice to the young Indian football fans 💡Additionally, this well help Etihad build market for other tourist destinations too. Etihad is strategically focusing on expanding its network of medium to long-haul routes connecting India with Europe and the US East Coast. #sports #sportsbiz #sportsbusiness #sponsorship #sportssponsorship #brands #marketing #sportsmarketing #strategy #airlines #travel #india The Premier League #mumbaicityfc #indiansuperleague

This week in Doha, players have asked me about my move back to the UK (from Dubai) and would I do it differently? With the benefit of hindsight, I expected the padel market in the UK to be further along. When I moved from Dubai on a tax-free, comfortable salary, to starting a business with a young family, in a country where padel wasn't developed at the time, I probably would have said to myself, “Am I sure it is the right time for padel in the UK?” With the benefit of hindsight, looking back now, I could have waited two more years, even now, padel in the UK is barely getting started. All countries that start padel have a couple of years where everyone involved (federations, clubs, coaches, players etc.) works out how to do everything. In the padel communities people think the sport is "exploding" in the country but in reality outside their groups the infrastructure is in very early stages. Personally I would not change my decision to move, but I may have waited a little longer! I would also have spent much more time researching the cost of starting a new business in the UK haha...that has been quite an experience. At what point would I have thought it is enough momentum to come back? When I moved we were on about 120 courts in the UK, now we are on 350...I think I would make that decision to come back on 750 courts (and that would still be considered in the early phases of growth in the sport compared to other countries!!). How about in your location? What stage of growth do you think the game is in?

The aviation industry is a very competitive sector, in particular within the mid to high end customer market, where airlines such as Gulf Air, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways etc, and the soon to be launched Riyadh Air are competing on a regional and global scale. As football provides unique globally connected scalable environments for brands to engage with audiences through advertising and sponsorships, in effect emotive ways that helps to connect brands to the sport and audiences, it makes sense that Qatar Airways has just renewed its sponsorship with FIFA until 2030. The new agreement will cover FIFA World Cup 2026, the Women’s World Cup 2027, the FIFA World Cup 2030 and all youth men’s and women’s tournaments, with fans being given access to exclusive travel packages, match tickets, flights and accommodation for select FIFA tournaments. As the last World Cup was held in Qatar, the country’s airport and tourism industry will have access to a significant amount of data on fans travel habits during the World, from airlines and historical in and outbound flight timings, through to VIP lounge usage and accommodations, this present a major opportunity for Qatar Airways to use this data and insights, to form how they market, advertise and activate their sponsorship with FIFA around key tournaments, to maximise ROI. At Football Media we are working with several aviation brands on their global advertising and sponsorship strategy across digital to connect and engage with audiences through football, at scale, next years Euro 2024 tournament, in Germany presents major opportunities for the aviation, travel and accommodation sectors. #Footballmedia #Qatarairways #Gulfair #Emirates, #etihadairways #sponsorship #marketing #football #sponsorship #fifa #womensfootball #fifa #travel #aviation
