Sessions, discussions and dialogues at the PRIORITY Summit, organized by the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute in Miami, focused on the second day on investment in sports.
One of the most important questions raised at the summit themed, "On the Edge of a New Frontier," was: What drives growth in sports assets and innovation in sports? How do investors and owners of sports teams reshape sports financially? Speakers pointed out that in recent years, sports investment has witnessed a major transformation with the increase in media broadcast rights for sports events and tournaments, and the achievement of high financial returns as a result of investment projects in this vital field, which attracts many followers around the world.
Speakers at the sessions explained that investing in sports is not just about winning games, but it is rather a huge platform that brings communities together and gets to know each other.
Participants also spoke about the development of sports investment with increasing financial returns in paid broadcasting rights, and about increasing demand, digital expansion, and accessing more global markets, as investors support shaping sports financially and practically, while taking advantage of modern technologies to attract new fans and followers in watching sports tournaments.
The participants also touched upon ways to invest in art, entertainment, museums and media, and the role of media and entertainment companies in developing content across various platforms to attract wider audiences, generate income effectively, and shape culture in their countries.

Liverpool are a more mature side than Manchester United, with the advantage of a cohesive team of established players, United manager Erik ten Hag said ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash between the bitter rivals at Old Trafford.

"Liverpool are in a different phase of the life cycle," Ten Hag told reporters. "We are much more mixed and we have to build a new team."

United have not beaten Liverpool in the league since a 2-1 win at Old Trafford in August 2022 though Ten Hag's men did prevail 4-3 over former Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp's side to win the FA Cup last season, according to Reuters.

Liverpool finished third in the league last season, five places and 22 points ahead of United, but Ten Hag said his side could take heart from their performance in the cup final.

"We can always win, last year we won (in the FA cup) in the second part of the season," the Dutchman said.

"(Liverpool) are a team who are clear in the relationship among their players. It's what (new manager Arne Slot) has inherited. It was built over the last few years."

Slot and Ten Hag have faced each other in the past during their time working in the Dutch top flight, with little to chose between them on paper.

Developed by UK startup GiveVision, the headset aims to set new accessibility standards for sports and entertainment events.

Both managers have two wins apiece against each other in the Eridivisie, with Sunday's match at Old Trafford their first head-to-head meeting since March 2022.

Liverpool have made a solid start to the season under Slot, who became their first manager since Graeme Souness in 1991 to win his two opening league games in charge with Sunday's 2-0 victory over Brentford.

United, on the other hand, dropped their first points of the campaign when they were beaten 2-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion last Saturday.

"One of the reasons I came here is I knew beforehand it would be the most difficult thing I could ever do in my life, to come in (to) a club with a lot of problems," added Ten Hag, who took charge of United in April 2022.

"I inherited a history of six years and no trophy. We're still in transition. We have young players, academy players, and now we have to construct a team for the future."
