IMG Arena
Launched in 2012, IMG Arena leveraged their rights expertise to pioneer the mainstream introduction of official data rights to the sports betting industry. Paving the way for a new revenue stream for their federation clients, whilst at the same time delivering greater value to sportsbook operators.
IMG Arena's focus has always been on fan-first engagement via the delivery of content and product innovations that fuel the emotions and excitement unique to world-class sport. One of their core principles is the view that this can only be achieved by working alongside rightsholders to deliver official products that are true to the sports and events.
In 2020 CEV and IMG ARENA signed a long-term, worldwide live betting streaming and betting data rights partnership that covers CEV-sanctioned volleyball, beach volleyball and snow volleyball competitions. The relationship will see content distributed to IMG Arena’s portfolio of more than 460 leading sportsbook operators worldwide.
The CEV events in the scope of the partnership, which was brokered on behalf of the CEV by international rights agency AMI, include the biennial EuroVolley tournament and the annual Champions League Volley, Europe’s elite club competition.
