"Bundesliga Abandons $1 Billion Investment Deal Amid Fan Protests"
The German Football League (DFL) has abandoned plans to sell a stake in its media rights income to a private equity investor after persistent fan protests. The deal, valued at up to €1 billion, was scrapped due to disruptive demonstrations, including objects being thrown onto the pitch and game interruptions. The decision represents a setback for the DFL's efforts to increase revenues, as leagues across Europe seek external funding to enhance income and global reach.
