Remember playing FIFA in the early 90s and wondering why it didn't have real player names? It turns out EA Sports didn't realise that they were not part of the deal with FIFA. 😱 Hear about this and more stories from the games that shaped how we engage with football on the Footballco Business Podcast with our guest, Richard Moss: https://pod.fo/e/28b3d9

Yeah, so the, the name thing was largely naivete. I think the the people who did the licensing for EA, they sort of just assumed because that's how it works with the American leagues. You get, you get the governing body, the NBA, the NHL, the NFL, you just get them. You've got everything because that's how it works in America. But of course with football, it being this global sport, it's very different. FIFA sets the rules. But then there's player organizations and there's individual leagues all around the world and you've got to make negotiations with them, and more recently also with individual players. And so they just, they didn't realize that until it came time to to to like finish the game and put the names in and OPS, we don't have the rights to the names. We only have the rights to FIFA as a brand. And took a couple of years for them then to catch up those FIFA 96 where they finally actually had. Real player names in there. So the third iteration of FIFA is when they got that.

FIFA is reportedly seeking to raise $2 billion to expand its FIFA+ #OTT platform, just two years after its launch. In the latest episode of #StreamTimeSports, Chris Stone and I discuss FIFA's reasons for investing in a DTC platform, the challenges FIFA+ has faced, and how the new funding might be used. We also examine the NFL's legal issues with the Sunday Ticket class action suit, considering the likelihood of an appeal and the potential impact on future rights negotiations, fans, and pricing. #SportsBiz #FIFA #NFL #Streaming #OTT https://lnkd.in/dv-qnQAi

Ever since I started following #football , I find it interesting in terms of its marketing. Along the way, I discovered our own country's Philippines Football League which I believe can make waves in the coming years to a rising generation of local football fans. https://lnkd.in/gfrN-jAg #MarketplaceInfluencer #tomishane #podcasting #podcast #Podcasts
