About this episode
This episode explores the World Cup's impact on football business, VAR's challenges, and the podcast's journey to the UEFA Under-19 Euros.
In this episode of The Business of Football, we unpack why the World Cup is capturing attention in a way the domestic game often struggles to, from standout performances by Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland to the wider debate around entertainment, business and football’s future. We also dig into the frustration surrounding VAR in the Premier League, asking why the technology still slows the game down and what that means for the viewing experience. Alongside the footballing discussion, we share an exciting update on our own journey as we head to the UEFA Under-19 Euros in Wales with media accreditation, ready to capture behind-the-scenes content, interviews and on-the-ground insights.
