Soccer Business Bits: Bids Submitted, Vancouver Strike & More
Earlier this week we wrote about the bid submission process for television rights to the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup. Those bids were submitted today in a closed door meeting. English and Spanish language rights are both in play. An announcement on the winner could come as early as Friday. As we said a couple of days back,the stakes are especially high since both ESPN and NBC have rights to MLS through 2014.
