Soccerex Confirm Eurosport as Premium Media Partner

Soccerex has announced that Eurosport, Europe’s leading sports entertainment group, has become the Premium Media Partner for the Soccerex European Forum until 2014.

Under the terms of the three-year partnership, Eurosport will provide news coverage of the Soccerex European Forum, 30-31 March 2011, Manchester, across their channels as well as broadcasting a dedicated programme on the Forum post-event.

The European Forum brings together the leaders of the soccer industry, from some of the biggest clubs, brands, leagues and federations from across Europe and the World for two-days at the Manchester Central.

Soccer is key to Eurosport’s editorial strategy and this year Eurosport’s TV soccer offering includes the FIFA Women’s World Cup, live Bundesliga, as well as the award-winning interview series Eurogoals One-to-One.

David Wright, Marketing Director at Soccerex commented: “I am delighted to be working with Eurosport. They are a great partner for Soccerex as there is a natural synergy between the two brands – in particular with the European Forum. Eurosport is a recognised brand in the football industry and this partnership will bring great positive attention to our Forum and will also provide fans across Europe with exclusive Soccerex content for the next 3 years.”

Heather Bowler, Eurosport’s Global Communications Director, added: “Football is a pillar sport for Eurosport and it makes perfect sense for us to partner with Soccerex, a global leader in the business of football. The European Forum is an opportunity to showcase our superb year-round multi-platform football offer featuring top football live events, coverage and news on our TV, online and mobile platforms.”
