    Is the Club World Cup more of a real tournament now?

    Fifa's Club World Cup has a broadcaster, with DAZN paying $1 billion for the global rights to air the tournament next year. Tom Bassam is joined by SportsPro's Steve McCaskill and Ed Dixon to discuss whether it's time to take Gianni Infantino's pet project a bit more seriously. Also on the agenda are outgoing ICC chair Greg Barclay's less than kind comments about the state of cricket and the Bundesliga's resolved rights situation.

    The WTA Tour just increased its revenues by 24% so we spoke to the woman who made it happen

    Marina Storti is the CEO of WTA Ventures, the CVC-backed commercial arm of the WTA Tour. She was named as one of SportsPro’s ten influencers for 2024 and it’s fair to say she’s delivered, with the elite women’s tennis tour growing its revenues 24% this year. To reflect on that success and discuss the WTA Tour’s future, Sam Carp made the short trip to Storti’s office for an in-depth conversation.

    Ep 5: Leading Brighton, the club using data to challenge the big boys of European football | How to Win

    Brighton are one of the most-admired football clubs in the business and one of the people who have helped oversee the Seagulls' dramatic rise is CEO Paul Barber. Working closely with data-obsessed owner Tony Bloom, Barber has overhauled Brighton's operations and got the club into a position off the field where they can rival the giants of the game on it. As one of the few with a key to Brighton's famously guarded black box of data, Barber is the ideal guest to join SportsPro CEO Nick Meacham and NorthStar Solutions Group CEO Chris Collins for a conversation about reading the right numbers to achieve success.

    Ep 4: Rebuilding British Cycling with CEO Jon Dutton | How to Win

    British Cycling is one of the jewels in the crown of UK Sport but has endured its struggles in recent years, both in terms of governance and commercially. Jon Dutton joined the NGB as CEO, having previously served in the same role at the delayed Rugby League World Cup 2021, and has set about re-establishing a high-performance culture at British Cycling. Given that experience, Dutton was the ideal guest to join SportsPro CEO and NorthStar Solutions Group CEO Chris Collins to discuss the delivery of the strategies required to achieve those goals in the business of sport. Over six instalments of this special series from SportsPro and strategy realisation specialist NorthStar, we'll be hearing from top leaders across the sports industry with the primary objective of uncovering what it really takes to win in their field.
