“We are honored to be working with the world’s most renowned sports organization with a wonderful mission to make the favorite game more accessible and inclusive globally,” says Daniel Avener, chief executive officer, MDR Brand Management. “Through our work, we are excited to continue to expand FIFA’s reach and to welcome new fans, all year round. We have an exciting challenge ahead and I believe that through our extended services that go further than brand extension and retail, we can truly service FIFA and unlock long-term opportunities beyond key tournament periods.’’
