⚽ The FIFA World Cup is not only about football. It is also one of the world’s largest intellectual property ecosystems.

Broadcasting rights, trademarks, sponsorships, merchandise, image rights and digital content all depend on strong IP protection.

As African teams compete on the global stage, we are reminded that sport creates value far beyond the pitch. Protecting IP in sports helps build stronger brands, support athletes, combat piracy, attract investment and grow Africa’s sports economy.

Football inspires millions. Intellectual property helps ensure that value is protected, shared and sustained—on and off the pitch.
