DAZN: "2024 will be the first year in which we are profitable" (Shay Segev)
"DAZN is positioned for long-term success, we are in the final phase of a first step. We are focusing on three pillars: the key markets where we need to maximise our potential, the fight against piracy and the integration of social content. We want to make the most of our digital nature, integrating ticketing for fans and enthusiasts. Thirdly, the aim is to expand into other markets. 2024 will be the first year in which we are profitable, after years in which we have consolidated our position. We will continue to invest," said Shay Segev
