Bundesliga International Chief Marketing Officer Peer Niclas Naubert joined the 2024 iSportConnect Dubai Summit last week, reflecting on the future of global sports, on a panel alongside leading executives from MotoGP™ Premier and the San Francisco 49ers. Sports leaders from leagues, clubs and organisations around the world gathered for the event, where Peer shared more about the role of Bundesliga International GmbH and the strong growth path that the organisation has taken with localised marketing activations at its core. Since the 2018-19 season and the implementation of this strategy, the Bundesliga has become the fastest growing top football league when it comes to interest and awareness, with revenues continuing to increase despite tough economic conditions in some markets. Senior executives from the #DFL group are regular contributors to B2B events, alongside hosting our own SportsInnovation event every two years for industry leaders across the sports ecosystem. The DFL is committed to supporting the growth of football and sports worldwide, and continue to share our expertise and experience, through a wide range of platforms, including meetings, online panels and in-person events. #iSportConnectDubai
