Something big just happened behind the scenes in the world of professional football. Reinaldo Teixeira, a key figure in Liga Portugal, recently shared some important news. He spoke about a new path for how football’s TV rights will be sold. It’s a move that many hope will bring a brighter financial future to the sport.
Just after handing over the plan for centralized audiovisual rights to the Competition Authority, Teixeira sounded very confident. He highlighted that they turned in a draft document way ahead of schedule. The law required this paper by June 2026, but they finished it 11 months early. This early delivery shows how hard everyone worked. It built on efforts from the previous executive team. Also, teams from Liga Portugal, along with all the sports societies, created a plan that everyone agreed on.
Teixeira described this moment as a crucial first step. He believes it will lead to a “happy ending” for the 2028/29 season. That phrase, “happy ending,” really sticks with you. It paints a picture of a more stable future for the clubs. This kind of unified front is rare and powerful.
He made sure to give credit where it was due. André Mosqueira do Amaral, the executive director of Liga Portugal, earned a special thank you for his work. Teixeira also praised all the sports societies involved. He noted their great willingness to help and their valuable opinions. Even the European Leagues played a part, showing that this wasn’t just a local effort. It was a true collaboration, and it speaks volumes about the shared vision for the game.
