UEFA and top European soccer clubs are set to drop the Swiss agency that has sold Champions League rights since 1992 and replace it with the U.S. firm of Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. New York-based Relevent Sports has been given exclusive negotiating rights over the global commercial rights to the UEFA men's club competitions for the period 2027-2033, UEFA said Tuesday, announcing the decision of its commercial joint venture with the European Club Association. UEFA men's club competitions including the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and Super Cup have earned gross commercial revenue of at least 4.4 billion euros ($4.54 billion) this season. Relevent's first Champions League deal with UEFA was struck in 2022 to market just the United States rights for three seasons through 2027, in the new format with extra games. That American deal cut into the global marketing of the marquee club competition by TEAM Marketing in Switzerland since the traditional Europea

Ahead of a Champions League playoff against Real Madrid, Manchester City survived a scare at third-tier Leyton Orient to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup. City hosts Madrid on Tuesday in the first of a two-legged playoff. And while Pep Guardiola's team eventually fought back to win 2-1 against Orient on Saturday, it will likely need a much-improved performance to overcome Champions League holder Madrid. Orient threatened to pull off a famous upset when it led 1-0 at halftime against Guardiola's four-time defending Premier League champion. It took goals from substitutes Abdukodir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne to secure victory for City at Brisbane Road. It was impossible to control, Guardiola said. We played with character, and we are in the next round and it's always nice. Orient went ahead in spectacular fashion when Jamie Donley's shot from just past the halfway line hit the bar and rebounded off the back of City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega in the 16th minute. It was offici
