With the announcement of the FIFA FIFPRO Men's World 11 this week, we break down the chosen team and ask who is the most deserving of a place. On the topic of European competition, we take a look at the upcoming “Swiss model” for the UEFA Champions League in 2024-25. Will the new format make the competition a better or worse spectacle? Will there be more heavyweight sclashes? Can we convince Ryan that change is a good thing, sometimes? Will more games also mean more injuries? We look at FIFPro's “Player Workload Monitoring Tool” to outline just how little rest and recovery the top athletes get for club and country.

Today's guests are Mo Bobat, Performance Director of the England and Wales Cricket Board, and Omar Chauduri, Chief Intelligence Officer of Twenty First Group.The topic is high performance and its fundamental link to the commercial success of sport. Mo and Omar's teams worked extensively together on the ECB's new High Performance Review, chaired by former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss. This aims to improve the quality of both the domestic structure and the men's national side, aided by an advisory board including Sir Dave Brailsford and Dan Ashworth, former FA Performance Director. The review made 17 proposals, each seeking to focus attention on the difficult question of What It Takes To Win (WITTW). You can read the review HERE. But the performance conversation is often put into a silo, and treated separately from the commercial side of sport. As we'll hear in this episode, that's a mistake. This conversation, more than anything, is about the product of sport, what's the difference between a successful sport's tournament, event or team, and the rest. How does performance data help create entertaining teams and events? What's the commercial value of jeopardy?These are questions which drive everything; from fan engagement through to media rights income, sponsorship revenue and other forms of investment. The conversation took place at the Clerkenwell offices of Twenty First Group in London against the backdrop of England's progress at the ICC T20 World Cup taking place in Australia. You'll hear us reference a previous podcast with Ed Smith, recorded at Leaders London in October. That's available along with 276 other episodes in the Unofficial Partner back catalogue, accessible via the website, Apple, Spotify, Google or your usual podcast app.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Today's episode was prompted by a question posed by author, journalist and regular listener Mike Jakeman: How do you market test cricket successfully?"The national cricket boards have figured out that the big money comes from success in the shorter formats. And certainly in England, their focus has been on building success in one day in 2020. It's been very successful. England obviously won the 2019 ICC World Cup and they reached the final of the T20 World Cup late last year.But test cricket, it's fun too. And it delivers slow burn, sporting excellence in ways that limited overs cricket just can't replicate. So how do we sell test cricket to broadcasters, sponsors and even the cricket boards themselves?"To answer Mike's question we recruited Omar Chaudhuri and Tony Singh. Tony Singh is the chief commercial officer of the England and Wales cricket board, leading the teams responsible for all ECB fan engagement and revenue generating activity across England cricket, The Hundred, recreational and professional games. Omar Chaudhuri  is chief intelligence officer at Twenty First Group, which advises sports bodies, such as the Premier League, European Tour, USGA and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. This conversation builds on other cricket related podcasts.Omar is a former guest on the podcast where we talked about jeopardy and the use of data to inform sporting formats - UP181 The Business of Jeopardy. Also mentioned in the podcast is the excellent Sky Sports Ashes Vodcast, featuring Ian Ward, Mike Atherton, Nasser Hussain and Rob Key.Our conversation with ECB CEO Tom Harrison is referenced, from May 2021.

Today we're talking about one of the most fundamental parts of the sports business: the product. And specifically the process of creating and adapting competition formats to increase jeopardy, fan connection and commercial value.  This is a conversation about the way in which leagues, tournaments and competitions are structured, and its relationship to the commercial value of sport, both as a way of driving demand but also on the supply side, creating opportunities for investment. This is true whether we're talking about Twenty20 cricket and the rise of the IPL or the current questions around the ECB's new brainchild, The Hundred; the Premier League play-offs; The Super League; or FIBA's 3x3 basketball format and Rugby Sevens, both of which feature at the Olympics. Could a better format have saved The Super League? How can big tournaments be made more fun to watch but avoid contrived gimmicks? How can competitive balance be achieved without punishing excellence? And what does the data say about how women's football, cricket and rugby could benefit by balancing components such as jeopardy, quality and connection with fans?  Our guests are Omar Chauduri and Ben Marlow, from Twenty First Group, who have thought about this question a great deal, and created a model that approaches the format question through a data led decision making framework. I find the results of their work fascinating, for what it says about sport and the questions it poses for everyone, from fans, teams and event rights holders through to television and media owners and financial investors. So wherever you are in the sports biz jungle, this is a topic that talks directly to your day job.   If you like the podcasts you'll love the Unofficial Partner newsletter, that goes direct to the inbox of thousands of senior executives across the global sports business every Thursday.
