Milan’s new football cathedral; the last rites for LIV Golf

As RedBird Capital and Oaktree, owners of AC Milan and Inter respectively, gear up to begin work on Milan’s new football stadium, James Emmett and David Cushnan take a look at the newly-revealed plans and Generali’s record-breaking naming rights sponsorship.

They also reflect on this week’s big conversation with Fliss Barnard, CEO at Ascot Racecourse, and consider the ways in which leaders of large sports events can help build and nurture culture amongst permanent and temporary staff. And on the end of LIV Golf, as BC Partners’ funding plan is withdrawn.

Elsewhere, there’s a quick whirl around this week’s World Travel Market in London, where - perhaps surprisingly - major sports events were not particularly prominent. And with the festive season - sort of - upon us, which sports organisations will be marking the moment with a content and brand campaign?
