How does sport rebuild itself in the wake of Covid-19? As the lockdown eases, this question is starting to be asked around the industry. Much of the focus has been on the top 10 per cent, the big teams and leagues that dominate the agenda. However, surely it is those in the lower reaches who should have the most concern.

David Fowler is the Director of Marketing at MyCujoo, a live football streaming platform focussing primarily on small and middle-tier federations, leagues and clubs all over the world to produce and distribute live and on-demand content.

As a former Head of Strategy and Intelligence at FIFA, David has strong views on the way those outside football's upper echelons might realign their operations and business models. This wide-ranging discussion is not about the big teams, they can look after themselves. It is about how smaller organisations might face up to the greatest ever threat to their existence.
