DAZN Calls for “New Deal” for Women’s Football

Published

Brands, broadcasters and clubs are being invited to support a campaign to ensure a commercially robust future for women’s football.

DAZN, one of the world’s leading investors in women’s football, has already attracted commercial support, including from EA Sports and Adidas as global sponsors of UEFA Women’s Champions League coverage.

The New Deal for Women’s Football is named in recognition of a 1967 women’s football tournament in Deal, a seaside town in Kent. In staging the event, Arthur Hobbs, the organiser and a local carpenter, broke a ban imposed by the English FA since 1921. The tournament became a catalyst for change and the ban was lifted in January 1970.

DAZN sees the current environment as another watershed moment. “The women’s game is at a crossroads. We see two possible futures. In one, stakeholders come together to build a major global commercial sport. In the other, progress is slow and a golden opportunity to accelerate growth is lost.”

The New Deal for Women’s Football calls for:

• A new deal from clubs, improving the match day experience, providing better facilities and increasing marketing.
• A new deal from sponsors, adopting a long-term investment horizon.
• A new deal from media and broadcasters, delivering broad distribution, premium coverage and enhanced marketing.
• A new deal from rights holders, collaborating with clubs, brands, and broadcasters to maximise media value and drive growth.

In short, DAZN is calling for a new deal for fans, working together with all stakeholders to deliver consistently high-quality experiences wherever and however they enjoy the game.

For its part, on January 23rd DAZN is removing its paywall to the largest portfolio of women’s football worldwide. This will drive audience growth and provide a new global home for women’s football, offering greater access to games, content and the international women’s football community.

Women’s football now has an incredible platform for growth. The recent Women’s World Cup and Euros were hugely successful, capturing the attention of fans worldwide. The Barclays WSL, finework Liga F, Google Pixel Frauen Bundesliga, Serie A ebay, D1 Arkema, NWSL and other domestic leagues are breaking attendance records. TV and online audiences are growing and broadcasters are increasing their investment in media rights.

“Women’s football is the most compelling sports investment opportunity for a generation. To realise its potential the game needs another moment of bravery and rule breaking just like that 1967 tournament,” said Hannah Brown.

Esmeralda Negron, Co-CEO of Women’s Sport at DAZN, said: “We are committed to fostering and cultivating fandom for women’s football. Women’s football needs investment to realise its potential – developing a first-party relationship with fans across all demographics to scale its audience and become commercially viable.”

This comes in the wake of Karen Carney’s review of UK women’s football. The review aims to achieve world-leading standards for players and fans and calls for investment in building a sustainable pipeline of domestic talent, fully professional environments for the Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship, and increased investment in grassroots facilities. The Government has formally accepted all its recommendations.

Negron emphasises the importance of the grassroots, adding “Grassroots football has the potential to play a crucial role in driving the growth of the sport. Connecting the grassroots market to the women’s professional game is crucial in establishing a fanbase for women’s football from an early age.”

Expanse Studios Secures Romanian Class 2 B2B Gaming License

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Expanse Studios, a B2B iGaming content provider and subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has been granted a Class 2 license by Romania’s National Gambling Office (ONJN), authorizing the company to distribute specialized gaming software across one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.

The license, granted under Decision No. 273, enables Expanse Studios to provide its portfolio of proprietary slot games, crash games, and casino content to licensed Romanian operators. This approval positions the company to serve a market that generated approximately €600 million in gross gaming revenue in 2024 and maintains one of Europe’s highest channelization rates at over 90%.

Strategic Entry into High-Growth Regulated Market

Romania represents one of Eastern Europe’s most dynamic iGaming jurisdictions, with internet penetration reaching 88% of its 19 million population and a regulatory framework that has attracted over 50 licensed operators. The market has demonstrated consistent growth, with total industry turnover exceeding €2 billion in 2023, reflecting a 15% year-over-year increase.

The Class 2 B2B license allows Expanse Studios to distribute content to Romania’s licensed B2C operators without establishing a Romanian entity or paying Romanian corporate taxes, while providing access to a market where mobile gaming dominates and player engagement continues to accelerate.

Romania’s stringent licensing requirements under Government Emergency Ordinance 77/2009 make ONJN approval a significant credential for B2B providers. The regulatory framework emphasizes technical compliance, player protection, and operational transparency—requirements that align with Expanse Studios’ existing European operations across 1,300+ casino brands.

“Securing ONJN approval validates our technical capabilities and regulatory compliance standards in one of Europe’s most demanding jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “Romania offers substantial distribution opportunities through licensed operators serving a tech-savvy player base with strong engagement metrics. This license strengthens our European B2B footprint and demonstrates our ability to meet the compliance requirements of mature regulated markets.”

Expanding B2B Distribution Infrastructure

The Romanian license complements Expanse Studios’ recent European partnerships, reflecting accelerating demand for the company’s content across regulated jurisdictions. With 56 proprietary titles including Super Heli, Titan Roulette, and Wild Icy Fruits, Expanse continues scaling its high-margin B2B operations across Europe, Latin America, and North America.

Romania’s market characteristics—including preference for mobile platforms, strong affinity for slot content, and established payment infrastructure—align well with Expanse Studios’ content portfolio and distribution model. The company’s games will be available to Romanian operators seeking certified, compliant content for their licensed platforms.

This license approval reinforces Golden Matrix Group’s broader strategy of expanding regulated B2B operations in jurisdictions with transparent licensing frameworks and sustainable growth trajectories.
