Saudi Arabia close to investment in DAZN

Very advanced discussions but not yet finalized

When DAZN acquired the rights to the new FIFA Club World Cup (June 15-July 13, 2025) last December for the entire world, the possibility of an agreement was logically back on the table. The PIF, a week before the Saudi kingdom obtained the organization of the 2034 World Cup, did not react this time. No official reaction from DAZN either, even if a source close to management assured The Team that the agreement with FIFA, said to be close to a billion dollars, was “entirely funded by existing DAZN shareholders and that there was no deal between DAZN and Saudi Arabia to sell a stake in the company”.
