Navigating expectations: The rise and challenges of Ferencvaros under CEO Pál Orosz As Ferencvárosi Torna Club clinches its sixth consecutive title in Hungary, CEO Pál Orosz continues to push for European success while balancing fan expectations and financial realities. Dive into the dynamics at play within one of Hungary's most storied football clubs. 1: What is the historical significance of Ferencvaros in European football? Ferencvaros boasts a rich legacy in European football, highlighted by their victory in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1965 against Juventus Football Club in Turin. The club's deep roots in Hungarian football are intertwined with national triumphs such as the 1952 Olympic gold and notable matches against England. 2: How has Pál Orosz approached his role as CEO since 2011? Since assuming the role of CEO, Pál Orosz has focused on financial stabilization, branding, and increasing fan engagement. Despite initial financial turmoil, his efforts have rejuvenated the club, leading to increased revenue streams from commercial income and matchday sales, reflecting a stronger, market-oriented approach. 3: What challenges does Ferencvaros face in maintaining its dominance? The main challenges include managing high fan expectations and competing in a relatively weaker Hungarian league. The club is exploring innovative solutions such as forming a new league that involves teams from outside Hungary while retaining their domestic presence to elevate the level of competition. 4: How has Ferencvaros managed fan behavior and matchday experience? Under Pál Orosz's leadership, significant changes were made to enhance the matchday experience, including the implementation of a biometric ticketing system to curb disturbances caused by hardcore Ultras. This has led to a safer, more family-friendly environment, encouraging broader fan attendance and participation. #SportsBusiness #Football #SportsBiz #Finance #People #Data #Intelligence #Investment Learn more 👇

🫶🏼 How important is it to take part in our community? Yesterday, I attended FC Barcelona's International Women's Day event once again. This year's theme was "On volem arribar?" ("Where do we want to go?"). The event focused on the women's football team's amazing growth journey. It had three different sections: 💜 D'on venim? (Where do we come from?) There was a discussion panel with members of the club's very first women's team from 1970. And also from the team that won the first Copa de la Reina in 1994. 💜 On som? (Where are we now?) Mapi León talked about the present of women's football globally and what she envisions for the future. Sadly, this was on video 😂; otherwise, this picture would be different! 💜 On volem arribar? We got to listen to 4 girls on different youth teams talk about what they dream of doing as FC Barcelona players. This last part was extremely moving. They get to dream of something big thanks to the hard work of the past players who were there. 💪🏻 This is why I believe taking part in our translation community is of the utmost importance. 🪄Because we get to improve things for ourselves now. 🪄 Because we get to set better practice standards for first-year students. 🪄 Because now is the time when the industry needs us the most. Let's work together! #LITranslators #TranslationCommunity

What if the E.U did the Olympics? I heard several voices asking the European Union to participate in the Olympics as one main "group". It could top the "Medal count" list with almost 100 gold medals, far in front of USA and China, both at 40. (Source: https://lnkd.in/e47EJyMA) Well this is not rocket science. There are three reasons for that. #1 Identifying the athletes The CIO is not sure if 4 years would be enough for the E.U. to agree on the criteria that would allow European Athletes to win a selection for the games. (Reaching such a consensus can take up to 10 years in Brussels 😬) #2 Changing the rules After the first competitions, the CIO is worried that the E.U. would try to introduce new regulations that could advantage its athletes. (For example, starting the 100-meter dash a few decameters further). And everyone understands that most of the times, these regulations will actually disadvantage its own team through an overload of paperwork. #3 Retaliation Finally, the CIO is clearly scared to face retaliation after disappointing Olympic games for the E.U. It could face several hundred million euros in fines, new obligations and a potential antitrust lawsuit, for lack of competitors in "Olympic" activities. Long story short: surely, E.U. competitors did extremely well, but let's let them represent only their country!

🌟 Citius, Altius, Fortius  🌟 The Paris Olympic Games have officially begun! From July 26 to August 11, 2024, over 10,500 athletes from around the world will compete in 32 sports categories. With an event of this magnitude, swift resolution of sporting disputes is essential. To address this need, CAS has established two temporary offices in Paris during the Games and the 10 days leading up to them:  1️⃣ **CAS Ad Hoc Division**: Handles legal disputes arising during the Games.  2️⃣ **CAS Anti-Doping Division**: Adjudicates anti-doping matters. Both divisions are dedicated to ensuring fair play and upholding the Olympic spirit. This temporary tribunal has been a fixture at every Summer and Winter Olympics since 1996, providing prompt, high-quality dispute resolution services, with decisions often rendered within 24 hours for urgent cases. No.9 wishes all athletes the best of luck and hopes the arbitrators find plenty of free time to enjoy the venues! 😀 #Olympics #SportsLaw #CAS #Paris2024 #FairPlay #No9
