Deutsche Bank Becomes The Title Partner Of The Singapore Open

The DP World Tour has announced that Deutsche Bank, Germany’s leading bank with a global network, will become the new Title Partner of the Singapore Open in a multi-year agreement that runs until 2029.

The Deutsche Bank Singapore Open will be played on The Serapong at the Sentosa Golf Club from 15-18 April, 2027. It will be part of the DP World Tour’s Asian Swing, the third of five Global Swings which form the first phase of the 2027 Race to Dubai.

The Singapore Open is one of the region’s most prestigious national Opens. First played in 1961, the list of past winners includes four major champions. While traditionally part of the Asian Tour schedule, the event was previously co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour between 2009 and 2012 and will return to both Tours’ schedules as a co-sanctioned tournament from 2027. Defending champion Jeongwoo Ham of South Korea captured his maiden Asian Tour title at last year’s tournament, a victory that also secured him a place in The Open Championship in 2026.

This is not the first time that Deutsche Bank has partnered with golf’s global Tour. The company was the Title Partner of the Deutsche Bank Players’ Championship of Europe from 1995 to 2007.

Speaking about the new partnership Claudio de Sanctis, Deutsche Bank Management Board Member and Head of Private Bank, said: “Deutsche Bank is proud to be working with the DP World Tour to bring leading international talent in professional golf to Asia in the new Singapore Open. Partnering for this sporting event aligns strategically with Deutsche Bank’s commitment to fostering global talent, competitive skill and leadership. We are delighted to support this significant sporting event for golf fans around the Asia region, reflecting our deep commitment to Singapore and to sport as a means of creating connection and inspiring experiences for clients and the community.”

Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour, added: “This partnership is significant not only because it is with one of the world’s leading financial institutions, but because it reflects the commercial appeal of the DP World Tour and the opportunities we can provide global brands through our platform.

“The return of the Singapore Open to our schedule is also an important milestone in our new tri-partite partnership with the Asian Tour and the PGA Tour. Deutsche Bank’s investment will provide the foundation to grow this historic national Open, enhance the experience on and off the course, and maximise the economic impact of the event for many years to come.”

Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner and CEO of the Asian Tour, added: “We were thrilled to welcome the event back onto the schedule in 2025 after a two-year hiatus, delighted to see it return to Sentosa this year, and we eagerly anticipate it being elevated to a joint-sanctioned event next season with the DP World Tour. Partnering with Deutsche Bank will also give even greater prominence to what is one of the high points of the golfing year in Asia. We also want to acknowledge and thank the Singapore Golf Association for their on-going support of the National Championship.”

CANAL+ And LALIGA Sign Anti-Piracy Agreement

CANAL+ and LALIGA have announced the signing of a groundbreaking strategic anti-piracy agreement covering nearly 50 countries across Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti.

Through this unprecedented initiative between a broadcaster and a sports organization, CANAL+ and LALIGA will combine their expertise, technologies and enforcement capabilities in the fight against piracy. Already among the most committed and proactive players in this field, the two partners are taking their efforts to the next level to protect the sports ecosystem and its funding model, while continuing to deliver exceptional football experiences to fans.

The collaboration will enable both organisations to share intelligence, coordinate enforcement strategies and accelerate action against illegal distribution networks operating across multiple territories.

Javier Tebas, President of LALIGA, detailed: “Piracy is one of the greatest challenges facing the future of sports, one that no organisation can tackle this problem alone, which is why partnerships like this one are so important. By joining forces with CANAL+, we are bringing together technology, intelligence and operational expertise to protect the value of our competitions, defend the investment made by broadcasters and clubs, and ultimately safeguard the future of football.”

Maxime Saada, CEO of CANAL+ stated: “The unprecedented scale of this partnership reflects the strategic importance CANAL+ attaches to the fight against content piracy. I am particularly pleased that our Group shares a common conviction with LALIGA, one of the sports leagues most committed to combating piracy: piracy undermines the entire sports ecosystem. By combining our anti-piracy expertise, we are significantly enhancing our ability to take action.

All players in the sports industry, without exception, and more broadly all stakeholders in the audiovisual and creative industries, have a role to play in tackling the scourge of piracy. CANAL+ is fully assuming its responsibility, and this partnership is a call for all industry players to do the same.”

Protecting the value of sports content to safeguard the future of sport

Every illegal football broadcast deprives the entire sports ecosystem, both amateur and professional, of vital resources needed for its development, from funding youth academies and supporting clubs of all sizes to investing in audiovisual production that brings the world’s greatest sporting competitions to life on screen.

Piracy is no longer only a copyright issue; it has become one of the greatest threats to the sustainability of sport, undermining investment, innovation and the long-term value of audiovisual rights.

With sport at the heart of their growth strategies, CANAL+ and LALIGA are determined to intensify their fight against piracy and strengthen the protection of the sports content enjoyed by CANAL+ subscribers and LALIGA fans alike.

A landmark agreement that strengthens the longstanding relationship between CANAL+ and LALIGA

CANAL+, now present in nearly 70 countries, and LALIGA have built a longstanding relationship through the distribution of Spanish football. Beginning in France and progressively expanding across Europe, Africa and Haiti, this partnership has grown alongside CANAL+’s international expansion and the global popularity of LALIGA competitions.

This new strategic alliance represents a natural evolution of that relationship, extending cooperation beyond content distribution to jointly protect the long-term value of sports rights and support a sustainable future for the industry.

Protecting fans and consumers: a shared commitment between CANAL+ and LALIGA

For CANAL+ and LALIGA, protecting sports content also means protecting fans and consumers. Illegal services expose users to very real risks, including personal data theft, malware, fraud and access to unregulated content. By strengthening their anti-piracy efforts together, the two partners aim to provide fans with safe, reliable and high-quality access to one of the world’s most followed football competitions.

The partnership also reflects a shared commitment to promoting a healthier digital ecosystem, where innovation, investment and creativity are rewarded, and where fans can enjoy premium sports content with confidence.

FIFA ASEAN CUP Inks Strategic Partnership With IMG

Global sports marketing agency IMG and the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 have announced a strategic partnership to launch the inaugural Southeast Asian men’s tournament and boost the development of football in the region.

IMG is supporting delivery of the tournament, which takes place in Indonesia and Hong Kong from 24 September to 5 October 2026, leading the worldwide commercialisation and sale of its media and sponsorship rights, and overseeing broadcast production.

The agreement builds on IMG’s wide-ranging strategic partnership with PT Garuda Sepak Bola Indonesia (GSI) on behalf of Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) to unlock greater value for Indonesian fans, players, clubs, leagues, and national teams. IMG has been working with GSI since 2025, advising on calendar structure, developing a new commercial media and sponsorship rights strategy, standardising and enhancing production, and providing audience growth and digital transformation services.

Adolfo Bara, SVP and Managing Director, Football, IMG, said: “The FIFA ASEAN Cup is built around the rivalries that matter most to Southeast Asian fans and teams. By creating a dedicated platform for neighbouring nations and their leading players to compete, the tournament will unlock new opportunities for the game across Southeast Asia. We are excited to work with the tournament and its stakeholders to build a high-quality, commercially sustainable competition that can become a regular fixture on the international football calendar.”

MotoGP And Accenture Join Forces to Enhance Fan Streaming

MotoGP Group has selected Accenture to help power the next generation of its direct-to-fan OTT (over-the-top, internet-delivered) offering. Through this collaboration, MotoGP will harness Accenture’s technology capabilities and proven global sports streaming expertise to enhance the fan experience, deliver richer content, and create new ways to engage with the sport. The new platform is expected to launch in the 2027 MotoGP season.

The new platform will unify MotoGP properties, including MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and World Superbike, under a single technology architecture while enabling each experience to be tailored to its audience. Accenture Media Engage (formerly known as Accenture Video Solution) will power MotoGP’s OTT transformation, delivering greater speed to market, flexibility and automation. It will allow MotoGP to launch and optimize experiences across regions and personalization at scale. Media Engage is part of Accenture Media Suite, launching at IBC, a connected portfolio of AI-powered media solutions that helps media companies enhance audience engagement, optimize monetization and streamline operations across the media value chain.

The companies will also co-innovate through Accenture partners, including AWS, to explore new ways for fans to consume content, deepen engagement and optimize connectivity at circuits.

Through our collaboration with Accenture, we’re building a platform that will bring fans closer to the action than ever before, with more personalization, deeper insights, greater interactivity and richer content.”

As sports organizations build deeper, more direct relationships with fans, the opportunity lies in bringing together audience engagement, content and monetization on a connected platform that can continually evolve with changing fan expectations,” said John Peters, Global Media & Entertainment Lead at Accenture. “By combining MotoGP’s deep understanding of its fans and the sport with Accenture’s Media Engage platform and experience building and operating media platforms at scale, we can help create the foundation for the next generation of direct-to-fan experiences.”

ECB Names Leah Poulton As Managing Director For England Women

The ECB has announced the appointment of Leah Poulton as its new Managing Director of England Women, charged with overseeing the success of the international team and pathways.

With England Women having reached the final of this summer’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup and with the Metro Bank Women’s Ashes on home soil next year, Poulton will take up the job at a hugely exciting time and with an impressive track record driving women’s cricket forward in Australia.

Poulton, a batter who played 90 times for Australia before retiring in 2015, has spent the past six years as Head of Elite Female Cricket at Cricket New South Wales (NSW) where she oversees all cricket performance operations across two WBBL franchises, women’s State cricket and one of the world’s largest women’s cricket talent pathways.

Prior to that she spent three years at Cricket Australia as a High Performance Coach, leading the design and implementation of Australia’s women’s high-performance pathway including developing the Australia A and Under-19s women’s teams.

In her new role, she will be accountable for the performances of England Women, England Women A, England Women U19s, and the overall effectiveness and reputation of the women’s high-performance system.

Working closely with England Women’s Head Coach Charlotte Edwards and Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, she will set a clear, unified vision for England Women to consistently succeed on the world stage.

Richard Gould, ECB Chief Executive Officer, said: “With the progress the team has made under Charlotte Edwards and having reached the final of this summer’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, England Women are well placed for a successful era.

“I’m delighted to welcome Leah on board to help us build on this and take us to the next level. She has a deep understanding of international cricket from her playing career and has built an impressive reputation in her time in administration. I believe she and Lottie will be a formidable combination, and will continue the team’s progress and development as we compete for the ICC Women’s Champions Trophy and Women’s Ashes in 2027.”

Poulton will begin the role in November. After finishing her playing career, she became assistant coach of Sydney Thunder and later Sydney Sixers in the Women’s Big Bash League. She spent three years at Cricket New South Wales (NSW) as Pathway Manager and Assistant Coach for NSW Breakers, before joining Cricket Australia as a High Performance Coach. In three years there she coached the Australia A, Under-19s and Under-15s women’s teams, as well as overseeing the introduction of the Under-19 and A team programmes, and the first overseas tour of both the teams.

She became Head of Elite Female Cricket at Cricket NSW in April 2020. She succeeds Clare Connor, who announced earlier this year that she would be leaving the ECB after a career spanning 18 years.

Poulton said: “I’m incredibly excited and honoured to be joining England, and to have the opportunity to help shape our programmes and, most importantly, invest in our people. I’m looking forward to working with Charlotte, Nat and the wider team, building on the strong foundations already in place and taking the programme forward.

“I’d also like to acknowledge the incredible contribution Clare Connor has made to England and to cricket around the world. She has played such an important role in advancing the game, and I’m grateful to be taking on a role she has shaped so significantly.

“I know how vital strong pathways and a healthy domestic game are to sustained success, so I’m looking forward to connecting with people across the game and helping give the next generation of English players every opportunity to thrive. It’s a huge privilege to be part of England Women, and I can’t wait to get started.”

LIV Golf Files for Bankruptcy as Saudi Funding Support Nears End

LIV Golf has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US, as the Saudi-backed league moves to restructure its finances and secure a new ownership and funding model.

The golf circuit has entered into a restructuring support agreement with BC Partner Advisors LP, the credit arm of private equity firm BC Partners. LIV will now seek approval from the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey to proceed with the proposed restructuring.

The filing comes as LIV approaches the end of its existing financial support from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). PIF had been LIV’s principal financial backer since the league was launched as a challenger to the established professional golf structure.

Players Could Become Majority Owners

One of the most significant elements of the proposed restructuring is a potential shift in ownership.

Under the plan, LIV’s players are expected to become majority owners of the venture, although discussions with the players are still ongoing and the transaction remains subject to court approval.

PIF has committed approximately $49.6 million in debtor-in-possession financing to support LIV while it works through the Chapter 11 process.

Once the restructuring is completed, BC Partners Credit and other minority investors are expected to provide additional capital.

Search for New Investment

LIV’s financial challenges have been building as it looks to establish a sustainable funding model beyond its Saudi backing.

The league launched an investor roadshow earlier in 2026 with the aim of raising as much as $350 million to support its operations.

The bankruptcy proceedings could provide LIV with additional time to complete a broader investment transaction while continuing to operate its competition schedule.

LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said the restructuring process would provide the organisation with the framework to pursue a significant transaction and develop a new model focused on fans and players.

What It Means for Golf

LIV Golf was launched with substantial financial backing from PIF and quickly disrupted professional golf by attracting several of the sport’s biggest names with lucrative contracts and prize purses.

The league’s emergence triggered a major split within elite men’s golf and intensified competition with the PGA Tour.

In 2023, LIV and the PGA Tour announced plans for a broader agreement that would bring their commercial interests closer together, alongside DP World Tour and PIF interests. However, the proposed agreement has yet to be fully implemented.

LIV’s Chapter 11 filing therefore marks another major turning point in the rapidly changing economics and governance of professional golf.

The immediate priority will be securing court approval, maintaining operations through the restructuring and determining whether the proposed player-led ownership model can provide LIV with a sustainable future beyond its original Saudi-funded structure.

We are delighted to welcome Allwyn as an Official Partner of both the EuroLeague and the BKT EuroCup and to begin a long-term collaboration built around our shared ambition to create meaningful experiences for fans,” said Gawain Davies, Euroleague Basketball Chief Commercial Officer during the presentation event. 
“Together, we will explore new ways to connect fans with our competitions, both in the arena and through our digital ecosystem, while delivering innovative activations and memorable basketball experiences throughout the season.”

This partnership goes far beyond brand visibility and promotion. Together with Euroleague Basketball, we will stand even closer to the fans. We will offer experiences that money cannot buy, engage with them throughout the season, and create surprises that make every game count even more.”

For his part, Lukas Antos, Chief Customer Officer of Allwyn Hellas, said: “Our philosophy around sports sponsorships goes far beyond placing a logo on a jersey or around the perimeter of the playing field. Our goal is to make the relationship between fans, competitions, and teams even more exciting, interactive, and meaningful before, during, and after every game.”
