Today, we are joined by Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona—the brand known as Degree in the US, Sure in the UK, and Shield in South Africa. Ben oversees the global strategy for a brand that Unilever identifies as the "cultural engine" of its Personal Care business group, making it the primary vehicle for activating their massive FIFA and UEFA partnerships.As the marketing world prepares for the unprecedented scale of the FIFA World Cup in North America, we are diving deep into the strategic blueprint required to activate at this level. This isn't just a conversation about logos on LED boards; it is a masterclass in how a global giant moves a brand from a three-second-a-day consumer habit into a "culturally sticky" space where it can build a genuine emotional connection with an audience of billions.In this episode, we explore:The Strategy of Confidence: How Rexona is leveraging the concepts of science, performance, and control to align with elite sport and solve the "problem" of sweat and odor on the world's biggest stage.Managing Global Complexity: The challenge of maintaining distinctive brand assets (DBAs) across fragmented brand names like Rexona and Degree, and why the "tick" and the "it won't let you down" promise are the keys to global consistency.Activation at Scale: An inside look at the "House of Fresh" content studio, limited edition player-ambassador packs featuring stars like Vinny Jr., and the "world-first" in-game authentications being planned with FIFA.The Gender Balance: Why Unilever is giving equal billing to the Men's and Women's World Cups, treating the 2027 tournament in Brazil as a major commercial priority rather than a mere "purpose play".For any executive navigating the geopolitics, logistical hurdles, and cultural nuances of a 48-team World Cup in the US, Ben provides a rare look at the high-stakes decision-making happening inside one of the world's most sophisticated marketing organizations.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

On February 16, a group of Palestinian footballers and Palestinian clubs joined with others to file a complaint with the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. They are accusing the Presidents of FIFA, and Union of European Football Associations, UEFA, of aiding in war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territory. We speak about the reasons for this complaint with Jill Thomson of Scottish Sport for Palestine.

UC3 Co-Managing Directors Charlie Marshall and Guy-Laurent Epstein join Leaders Worth Knowing this week to shine some light on an organization that has been quietly pulling the strings of European football in the shadows for a little while. It was set up in 2017 as a joint project between what was then the European Clubs Association (ECA) and Uefa to consult on the commercialization of European club competitions - principally the Champions League. Last year, the project became an incorporated joint venture and has moved from a consulting role to a management capacity. In the wake of the failed attempt at a European Super League breakaway, Uefa and the continent's most powerful clubs are now bound tightly together. UC3 exists to manage the commercialization of both the men's and women's club competitions; it has contracted Relevent Football Partners and Two Circles as agencies to enact that work in the market. But how does it work? What's being done differently? And what does it mean for the future of European and world football. Marshall - who is also the CEO of the EFC - and Epstein - the Marketing Director of Uefa - are thrusting UC3 into the limelight.

Sokker: FIFA se president, Gianni Infantino, sê spelers wat hul monde bedek tydens onderonsies op die veld moet afgestuur word. Dit volg nadat Real Madrid se voorspeler, Vinícius Júnior, vir Gianluca Prestianni van Benfica beskuldig het van rassistiese aanmerkings in hul Kampioeneliga-uitspeelwedstryd. Prestianni het sy mond bedek tydens die beweerde voorval, wat deur UEFA ondersoek word. Infantino het aan Sky News gesê hulle is ernstig oor die bekamping van rassisme:

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-ochtú lá is fiche de mhí Feabhra. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tá sé mar aidhm anois ag Conradh na Gaeilge “gníomhú i dtreo Éire Aontaithe ar leas na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta” tar éis don Ard-Fheis vótáil ar son athraithe ar bhunreacht na heagraíochta. Bhí an ócáid bhliantúil ar siúl san Óstán Europa i mBéal Feirste an deireadh seachtaine seo caite, an chéad uair a reachtáladh é sa chathair le tríocha bliain. Lá suntasach a bhí ann don eagraíocht nuair a ghlac mórchuid de na baill gur chóir go mbeadh an Conradh i lár an aonaigh maidir le deireadh a chur le críochdheighilt na hÉireann. Tagann an fógra seo ag am cinniúnach don teanga, dar leis an taighdeoir Róisín Nic Liam, a thug rabhadh go mbeidh an Gaeilge i mbaol mura n-athraíonn meon an phobail agus muid ag druidim le comhaontú na tíre. I measc na n-abhár eile a pléadh, glacadh freisin le rún a éilíonn gníomh ó Stát na hÉireann chun dul i ngleic leis an ngéarchéim tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht agus moltaí ón gConradh agus ó eagraíochtaí ar nós Bánú a chur i bhfeidhm. Bronnadh Gradam an Uachtaráin ar an ngníomhaí cearta Fergus Ó hÍr as a chuid éachtaí thar na blianta, lena n-áirítear a sheasamh in aghaidh na mBlocanna H agus a cheannaireacht ar Raidió Fáilte.Níl an dara rogha ag foireann sacair na hÉireann ach a gcluichí i Sraith na Náisiún in aghaidh Iosrael a chomhlíonadh. Sin de réir Phríomhfheidhmeannach Cumann Sacair na hÉireann (an FAI) David Courell, i ndiaidh an fhógra go n-imreofaí cluiche baile i mBaile Átha Cliath ar an gceathrú lá de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Tuigeann an FAI go mbeidh an cinneadh seo deacair ar go leor den lucht tacaíochta, a deir a ráiteas, ach caithfidh siad cloí le rialacha UEFA nó glacadh leis an mbaol dícháilithe. Thacaigh gnáthbhaill FAI roimhe seo le rún ag iarraidh go gcuirfí Iosrael ar fionraí ó chomórtais UEFA mar gheall ar an gcinedhíothú sa Phalaistín. Bhí ráflaí ann go n-imreofaí an cluiche thar lear, ag cur san áireamh an teannas idir an dá thír agus an imní faoi chúrsaí slándála. Tuigtear, áfach, go bhfuil na Gardaí sásta nach mbeidh aon fhadhb ann. Níl a fhios fós cad a dhéanfaidh daoine mar fhreagra, ach is féidir a bheith ag súil le baghcat nó le hagóid ag an Staid Aviva ar an oíche.Tá Seachtain na Gaeilge 2026 beagnach buailte linn, agus chun an ócáid ​​a cheiliúradh, beidh dhá scannán as Gaeilge le feiceáil i bpictiúrlanna ar fud na hÉireann. Beidh lucht féachana Cúla4 ar bís faoi fhilleadh carachtair bhuí áirithe ar an scáileán mór sa scannán beochana SpongeBob: Cá Bhfuil SquarePants? San eachtra nua seo, caithfidh SpongeBob a chrógacht a chruthú dá leathbhádóir, an tUasal Krabs, agus an bheirt acu sa tóir ar thaibhse fíochmhar. Más rud é go bhfuil tú ag lorg rud eicínt níos dorcha, áfach, is féidir leat dul chuig Báite, scéal noir atá suite sna seachtóidí, ina dtagann rúin ghránna chun solais tar éis corp a fháil i loch. Ba é Ruán Magan, deartháir Manchán, a stiúir an scannán, bunaithe ar an úrscéal The Lake, le script ón údar céanna, Sheena Lambert. Tá ardmholadh faighte ag Báite on eagarthóir coimisiúnaithe TG4, Máire Ní Chonláin, a deir go bhfuil sé “fréamhaithe go domhain in áit agus i gcarachtair”, le béim láidir ar shaibhreas scéalaíochta na Gaeilge.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Could Antoine Griezmann really be headed to Orlando City SC — and if so, would he be the one player capable of challenging Lionel Messi for MLS supremacy? We kick things off by diving into the rumor, the fit, and what Griezmann's personality and playing style would mean for the league. Is this realistic, or just classic MLS chaos? Then NJ/NY Gotham FC defender Mandy Freeman joins the show. She reflects on Gotham's improbable championship run, the weight of expectations heading into the new season, and what it's like being a 10-year NWSL veteran who's seen the league evolve from host families and modest crowds to sold-out stadiums. Mandy also opens up about her love of fashion and gives a thoughtful critique of the NWSL's new High Impact Player rule — explaining why raising the ceiling doesn't necessarily raise the floor for players across the league. We wrap with Champions League drama: Weston McKennie continues to shine, but did Juventus FC let him down again? Is it time for him to seek a bigger move? Vinícius Júnior delivers another electric performance against SL Benfica, while FK Bodø/Glimt stun Inter Milan — raising serious questions about what's happening with Italian teams in Europe this season.

A high-stakes Champions League playoff between Benfica and Real Madrid should have been remembered for tactical masterclasses; instead, it's being defined by a single, ugly moment. We break down UEFA's unprecedented decision to slap a provisional one-match ban on Benfica's 19-year-old "prodigy" Gianluca Prestianni following alleged racial abuse directed at Vinícius Júnior. Is this the "decisive action" the sport has been waiting for, or just another temporary headline? We examine the statistics behind the rise of reported incidents in European football, Vinícius's evolution into a global symbol of resistance, and whether a teenager's rising career can survive such a heavy stain. Vinícius Júnior, Gianluca Prestianni, UEFA disciplinary action, Benfica vs Real Madrid, racism in football.

O ítalo-argentino Gianluca Prestianni, acusado de usar xingamento racista contra o brasileiro durante a partida, está suspenso da partida de volta do confronto. É um dos assuntos que ocupam o noticiário desportivo português ao longo da semana.

O programa que foi ao ar ao vivo em rede nacional pela rádio SBS 2 da Austrália. As notícias do dia. Conheça a australiana filha de brasileiros Claire Naschenweng, que iniciou sua carreira musical sob o nome artístico de CNasch. Claire, que acaba de completar 18 anos, teve uma de suas músicas selecionada no Unearthed High de 2025, competição da rádio Triple J, e acaba de lançar novo single. De Lisboa, nosso correspondente Francisco Sena Santos contextualiza a acusação de racismo feita pelo brasileiro Vinícius Junior contra o jogador do Benfica Gianluca Prestianni, que foi suspenso pela Uefa para a partida da volta nesta quinta-feira.

En el episodio de hoy hablaremos de una pregunta incómoda, pero urgente: ¿está México realmente listo para recibir un Mundial mientras vive una ola de violencia que no se puede ocultar?. Abordaremos el tema sin banderas políticas, sin “chairos” ni “fifís”, sino desde la mirada de un mexicano preocupado que pone sobre la mesa lo que muchos piensan y pocos dicen en voz alta. A 31 días de que Guadalajara reciba partidos mundialistas, el país enfrenta balaceras, psicosis colectiva y partidos suspendidos, como ocurrió recientemente en la Liga MX y en la Liga MX Femenil, recordando escenas tan impactantes como aquella del 2011 en Torreón. Se cuestiona si es responsable organizar un evento masivo cuando hay toques de queda disfrazados, clases suspendidas y una población que vive en alerta constante. Se revive cómo México, junto a Estados Unidos y Canadá, ganó la sede en 2018, pero también se analiza qué ha cambiado desde entonces, y si la violencia ha rebasado cualquier narrativa optimista. Además, se critica la postura de organismos como la FIFA y la UEFA, señalando que muchas veces el dinero pesa más que la seguridad o la lucha real contra problemas como el racismo. Porque aquí no solo se habla de balones y estadios, se habla de prioridades, de congruencia y de si el fútbol puede, o debe, ser una distracción en medio de una crisis. Para equilibrar la conversación, hay enlace desde Guadalajara con Néstor de la Torre, quien defiende que la ciudad está preparada y que el evento puede realizarse con seguridad, aunque reconoce que el problema de fondo es estructural y viene de años atrás. Un episodio intenso, polémico y necesario, donde el fútbol se cruza con la realidad más cruda del país. Porque la pregunta no es si habrá Mundial, la pregunta es a qué costo.

Arsenal blew a 2-0 lead away at bottom side Wolves on Wednesday night to cede further ground in the title race, meaning Man City can now win the league if they win all their remaining games. On the other side of Europe, Newcastle crushed Azerbaijan champions Qarabag 6-1 to all but seal their place in the last 16, thanks to an Anthony Gordon quadruple and some horrendous defending from the hosts. Elsewhere in the Champions League, Benfica's 1-0 loss to Real Madrid was overshadowed by Vinicius Junior alleging that he was racially abused by a Benfica defender in the aftermath of his stunning winning goal. Jose Mourinho didn't help the situation with his post-match comments and UEFA have a delicate situation on their hands. Niall, Joel and Marley discuss the lot on today's FSD!

Luís Figo is a footballing icon. One of the greatest players of his generation, a Ballon d'Or winner and the subject of one of the most controversial and talked about transfers of all time. Here, the Portuguese sits down with John and Chris at the Melia Desert Palm in Dubai to reflect on his illustrious career, and set the record straight once and for all. So what does he REALLY think of Cristiano Ronaldo and his place among the game's pantheon? And what of his bid to one day become UEFA president?
