More on Lagardere Sports

Alex Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz, said:  “The strong presence of Lagardere Sports in the U.S., especially in NFL and MLB, will help Chiliz to have a footprint for the first time. Our existing portfolio with FC Barcelona gives us a strong leadership in the U.S., but we want to start to go to the next stage by onboarding U.S.-facing sports in the next few months. This partnership will help, as some others that will be announced.”

The Socios platform, Chiliz’s fan interaction application, has garnered over 120k users and will continue to grow as more clubs and partners hop on. Lagardere saw over $435 million in annual profits at the end of Q3 2019 and has contracts with athletes in the NFL, MLB and professional golf. It will be interesting to see how this partnership grows and what other major clubs Chiliz is able to include.
