London, UK – 13th November 2020
Dugout has today announced a new partnership with Global Sports Rights Management (GSRM) which sees premium content from Brazil’s Brasileirão shared in all international markets outside of Brazil.

The new agreement will give Dugout’s network of more than 110 premium publishing partners access to the Brasileirão’s best goals, highlights and behind-the-scenes content to pair with their editorial coverage. As the top-tier of Brazilian football, the Brasileirão, has a passionate global fanbase including an online following of more than 125 million. All these fans and more will now also be able to engage directly with the league via new channels launched on the Dugout App and on Dugout.com.
In recent times, the Brasileirão has become increasingly international, with an influx of players from around the globe. Japan’s Keisuke Honda, Spain’s Juanfran and Costa Rica’s Bryan Ruiz have all increased the league’s international reach with Dugout now set to boost this further through its global audience and publishing partners.

Dugout has seen high global interest in Brazillian club content following collaborations with Flamengo, Santos, Corinthians and Chapecoense. Now, for the first time, fans will be able to view multi-team compilation videos from all Brasileirão clubs and leading players including Bruno Henrique, Gabriel Barbosa and Matheus Henrique.

Launched in 2016 as a unique venture by 10 of the world’s best football clubs including A.C. Milan, Arsenal, FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, Dugout has since partnered with more than 120 clubs, leagues and federations – creating and distributing more than 3,500 brand safe professional videos a month, and receiving more than 400 million views globally.
