About this listen
Red Bull are finally coming for Italian football!
The energy drinks giant, which already majority-owns football clubs in Austria, Germany, America, Brazil and Japan, has reportedly now set its sights on FC Südtirol.
So what makes the Serie B club a sensible strategic move for Red Bull? And why should supporters in Bolzano be wary about a takeover?
This weekend, we went to Austria Salzburg – the phoenix club that rose from the ashes of Red Bull’s hostile first foray into the sport – to explore what the future may hold for FC Südtirol.
Plus, Bursaspor win each of Turkiye’s top four divisions and a defeat helps Den Bosch secure a spot in the Eerste Divisie play-offs.
