Conmebol chat: Copa contracts closed

Welcome to The SportBusiness Podcast, getting you informed on the biggest stories in the global sports industry.

This week, Jonathan Rest joins the podcast to shed light on the awarding of the media rights in Latin America to the Conmebol club competitions: who the winners – and losers – are, the growing profile of YouTube in Brazil and what surprised him most about the auction.

Next, Matthew Glendinning brings us a comprehensive overview of sponsorship in the NBA with a focus on the jersey patch market which is entering its ‘third generation’.

Faaez Samadi sends in a cameo comment on the WTA’s ground-breaking new partnership with Mercedes-Benz, the largest-ever corporate partnership in women’s tennis – and arguably the biggest sponsorship in women’s sports history.

And last but not least, we provide a round-up of what’s coming up in the weeks ahead, including Africa Cup of Nations football, LaLiga’s media rights deals and what’s still to come, and a bright future for... camel racing.
