Portugal looks to call time on football broadcast monopoly

Nuno Ruiz, Competition & EU practice partner, is quoted in an article by GCR on the agreement between one of Portugal's largest media groups and Portugal's Competition Authority regarding domestic football broadcast rights.

"It is unlikely that a rival operator would invest in entering the market, if the broadcast rights they secure are limited by a three-year exclusivity period. It will be interesting to see if the authority applies the same rules to new entrants, or just the incumbent", states Nuno Ruiz.
