Melbourne, 7 September 2026 — TEG Sport has just delivered its biggest season yet, cementing its status as a leader in the global live sporting landscape. Between June and August 2026, TEG Sport delivered 21 major football events across eight countries, drawing more than 1.15 million fans to stadiums and fan parks worldwide.
June opened with two friendly internationals for the England Men’s national football team, The Three Lions. Then came the real test: 19 matches and a run of open training sessions packed into just over two weeks across July and August. A sprint that demonstrated TEG Sport’s multi-market delivery capability, managing complex event schedules with precision and scale.
Global Reach, Local Impact
The football events were held in the United Kingdom (Scotland), Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United States (including New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Tampa, Nashville, and Philadelphia).
Of the 21 international matches, 11 played out across the USA and Europe, and 10 across Asia-Pacific. Alongside the matches, a full slate of fan experiences and club activations put TEG Sport’s operational scale on full display.
In Kansas City, TEG Sport delivered the Kansas City FIFA Fan Fest, drawing more than 400,000 supporters to one of the tournament’s biggest fan destinations.
And in Dublin, history was made when Manchester United and Leeds United sold out Croke Park, marking its first ever international club fixture — a clash between two of English football’s fiercest rivals, in front of a passionate, capacity crowd.
Sydney Super Cup Steals the Show
The Sydney Super Cup was a season highlight. A sold-out London Derby between Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur packed Accor Stadium with more than 80,000 fans — one of the biggest matches of its kind Sydney has seen.
The tournament didn’t just fill seats, it filled hotel rooms. More than 20,000 interstate and international visitors travelled to Sydney for the tournament, reinforcing the city’s status as a premier destination for global sporting events.
An Elite Roster Built on Trust
Behind every fixture is a relationship, with some running for several consecutive years. TEG Sport’s longstanding relationships with the most elite clubs globally is a foundation to the season’s success. This season’s lineup included:
- English Premier League: Chelsea FC, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Manchester City, Leeds United, Everton, Newcastle United, and Sunderland.
- European Giants: Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Real Betis.
- Also featuring: Wrexham AFC, Auckland FC, Sydney FC, Western Sydney Wanderers, A League All Stars, the England Men’s World Cup squad, The Three Lions.
Global Leadership
Commenting on the achievements, Cameron Hoy, CEO of Ticketek Entertainment Group, said:
“To deliver 21 games plus multiple open trainings, ancillary events and the Kansas City FIFA Fan Fest across such a diverse geographic footprint is a testament to the dedication, capability and enthusiasm of our team.
“We’ve seen over 1.15 million fans come through the gates to watch the world’s best teams, and we are incredibly proud of what this has delivered for our host cities and partners. This record breaking campaign cements TEG’s position as the global leader in pre and post season sports promotion.”
“None of this would have been possible without the outstanding leadership of Rachael Carroll and Bart Campbell, and the hard work of the entire TEG Sport team.”
