Football Confederation of Brazil demands a 4% betting fee for football rights
The federation expressed interest in increasing its share of revenues generated from betting.
The CBF demands that ‘betting regime guarantee 4% share of gross revenues to be distributed across its football leagues’.
This proposal is expected to clash with the plans of the Ministry of Finance, which is currently tasked with redrafting Brazil’s sports betting regime for another attempt at a federal sign-off. Read more
Quicker games and higher averaged – MLB’s new rules work as intended

Amnesty International asks EPL to re-examine Newcastle takeover
The league has been urged to look into assurances given by Newcastle’s Saudi owners that the Middle East state would not have control of the club following the filing of a new court document in the USA.
“The Premier League will surely need to re-examine the assurances made about the non-involvement of the Saudi authorities in the Newcastle deal, not least as there’s still a Qatari bid for Manchester United currently on the table,” said Peter Frankental, Amnesty’s UK economic affairs director.
