Soaring to new heights: Melbourne Victory name new sponsor from 2024/25 season: Melbourne Victory have announced their latest primary sponsor for the upcoming three seasons, with both parties unveiling the newly found agreement at AAMI Park. Turkish Airlines are considered as one of the best flight carriers across the globe, and have garnered a reputation within the Sporting World. Their major sponsors vary across multiple sports, sharing agreements with three different codes involving basketball, golf and football. The airline has quite the portfolio within their rootball sponsorships. Their most significant sponsorship is undeniably their primary agreement with the UEFA Champions League, arguably one of the most coveted prizes within the Sport. Within Turkiye, the Airline are major sponsors of five Turkish clubs, including the likes of Galatasaray, and also sponsor the Turkish National Football Team. This follows on from the airline's venture outside of Europe, with the airline flying directly from Australia to Turkey as of February 2024. The partnership between both enterprises showcases a universal understanding, surrounding the importance of being competitive. Melbourne Victory are arguably one of the best clubs within Australia. 2 Australian Cups, 3 Premierships and 4 Championships across 19 years of operation, the winning mentality surrounding the club made the prosperity of a partnership more lucrative for the Turkish Outfit. The passion intertwined with the club and their fan base, although controversial, is undeniable. Acknowledging the current rivalry shared between Sydney and Melbourne off the field. It has been combatted with a rich history of Football Australia figures having debarcles with Melbourne based footballing figures within Australian football. A prime example rolls back the years to when Socceroo manager, now current Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou, who throughout his time as Australian National Team manager was under constant scrutiny within the media. The largest Melbourne-based club somewhat amplifies that personification. In a way, the grit, determination and club message Melbourne Victory live and breathe, has swayed the interest of a company in whom immerse themselves with athletic achievement. Can the new merger be the catalyst in perhaps, the renaissance of more success, at the Melbourne-based club?

Borussia Dortmund's Victory Over Paris Saint-Germain: An (ECONOMIC) Symbol ⁉️ For several decades now, #economists have highlighted the existence of a strong correlation between the #economic #power of an organization or country and its #sporting #results (cf. BERNARD & BUSSE (2000 and 2004); JOHNSON & ALI (2002), Xun Bian (2005); ANDREFF (2001, 2006 and 2008); RATHKE & WOITEK 2007; ...). In #football, specifically, HOEHN, SZYMANSKI & al. (1999) and Wladimir Andreff (2017) demonstrate that "There is a strong correlational link between the #clubs' #budget and #sporting #results... The #economic oligopoly coincides with a kind of sporting oligopoly". The bigger a #club's #budget, the more likely it is to feature at the top of the #sporting rankings. From 2015 onwards, #economists refined the indicators of #economic power used. This allowed them to highlight the importance of qualitative factors, i.e. how that #money is used (cf. BLAIS-MORISSET, BOUCHER & FORTIN (2015 and 2017); De BOSSCHER, Van BOTTENBURG, SHIBLI, & WESTERBEEK (2015)). "Some countries #succeed better than others with the same #investment". We find the same phenomenon at the club level: 2 clubs with the same budget will succeed more or less well in #sporting dimension due to a different use of that budget. The #economic model and particular #financial #management of a club therefore plays a role that is far from negligible in the #sporting #success of that #club. Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund have very different #economic models and #financial #management. We can get an idea of this by cross-referencing data from 2 articles: -Patrice Bouvet & Christophe Lepetit "From Doping to Financial Doping" (2015) ➡ Since Paris Saint-Germain was taken over by the Qataris, the latter have used a "#financial #doping" #strategy to grow the club. -Walid Agrar & Ahlam Laroussi "#Financial Analysis of the Big Clubs in the 5 Major European Football #Leagues" ➡ Relatively high market capitalization ratio of Borussia Dortmund in relation to its net income (Price Earning Ratio of 16.66); the explanatory hypothesis being that it is the only #European #club listed on the stock exchange that shows positive net results. We then understand that there are 2 opposing #management #strategies: that of the excessive and uncontrolled spending of Paris Saint-Germain, and that of the optimal management of Borussia Dortmund. And guess what? It was the latter that prevailed yesterday. A coincidence? Tell me what you think of it in the comments. 😉

LAFC’s connection with renowned Swiss powerhouse forms long-term strategy: Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC (LAFC), put pen to paper on a strategic partnership between Swiss Super League powerhouse Grasshopper Club Zürich, making them major shareholders of Grasshopper Football Ltd. The two organisations will provide unique platforms for the development of young talent, through a further expansion of LAFC's network which has Austria’s FC Wacker Innsbruck and Germany's FC Bayern München. Having played their first professional season in 2018, LAFC are trailblazers across the MLS, in establishing themselves as a competitive club so early in their existence. Since 2019, The Black and Gold have accumulated a total of seven domestic titles, also including an appearance in the CONCACAF Champions League Final, in which they fell narrowly short to Mexican outfit, Leon. High-quality players including Georgio Chiellini, Carlos Vela and Gareth Bale all shared stints in the City of Angels. The partnership LAFC have entered proposes the idea that the American club are looking to sustain a European feel. Co-President Larry Freedman praised the Zurich-based club. “Grasshopper Club Zürich is an iconic brand in both Swiss and European football, with an incredible tradition of success and a foundation built on developing top-level talent,” he said via media release. “LAFC is honoured to work together on this long-term partnership with the GC Zürich community and all the supporters as we begin our collaboration.” The Grasshoppers are a staple within Switzerland. Founded in 1886, the reign as the longest serving Swiss club across Europe. Throughout their 138 year tenure, the Hoppers hold the most League and Cup Titles respectively, accumulating 51 titles. However, their most recent major trophy success came in the 2012-13 season. Since then, Their decline has been swift. For the first time in 68 years, the club succumbed to relegation in 2019. Although bouncing back out of the second tier two seasons later, the club have not been able to reach their past dominance. Financial hardship, the COVID-19 pandemic, and lack of ambition were the ingredients to the clubs spiral out of form on the pitch. The American acquisition will leave Hoppers fans hopeful. Given the financial freedom the American outfit possesses, the combination of clubs is a benefit to both parties. On one hand, The Grasshoppers are able to rejuvenate their youth system, in which it has bred players the likes of Stephen Lichsteiner, Roman Burki and Yan Sommer. Furthermore, players within their youth academy can gain senior football experience in the MLS, before competing against Switzerland and Europe’s finest. Given the ambition in which LAFC possesses, the partnership between both clubs can ultimately breed a new plethora of Swiss superstars - helping the Hoppers get back to heights they… #Football #Soccer #FootballNews

Creative Director @ BASE CREATIVE MAKERS | Strategic Marketing Leader in Sports, Lifestyle and Entertainment
As we kick off the 50th season of the 2. Bundesliga, there's a lot for the football business community to get excited about. Clubs like Hertha BSC (Olympiastadion, 74,649), Schalke 04 (Veltins Arena, 62,271), and Hamburger SV (Volksparkstadion, 57,000) regularly draw over 40,000 fans, which is pretty incredible for a second division. With nine former German champions like Fortuna Düsseldorf, 1. FC Nürnberg, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1. FC Köln, and Hannover 96, the league is a thrilling mix of competitive spirit and rich traditions. What’s truly fascinating is that this level of brand presence and attendance is quite unusual for a second-tier league. The 2. Bundesliga’s average attendance last season was ahead of Spain’s La Liga, with figures around 29,189, reflecting Germany's unique fan-first football culture. The league’s affordable ticket prices and strong local club connections help maintain this extraordinary support. This lively atmosphere offers fantastic opportunities for brands to connect with loyal fans and gain significant exposure. The presence of these historic clubs guarantees not only exciting matches but also strong commercial potential. By partnering with these teams, brands can tap into their large, dedicated followings and long-standing heritage, boosting brand recognition and loyalty. With attendance numbers that can rival top-tier leagues, the 2. Bundesliga is a standout platform for creative marketing efforts. The blend of historic legacies, passionate fans, and substantial viewership makes this league an intriguing prospect for anyone in the football business. #2Bundesliga #FootballBusiness #Sponsorship #SportsMarketing #GermanFootball #BrandOpportunities #Bundesliga2 #HerthaBSC #Schalke04 #HamburgerSV #FortunaDüsseldorf #1FCNürnberg #1FCKaiserslautern #1FCCöln #Hannover96 #HistoricClubs #StrategicPartnerships #FootballMarketing #Attendance #FanEngagement
