PSG Partners With Rematch To Drive Unique User-Generated U.S. Content
Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) U.S. academies are partnering with community-driven sports highlight platform Rematch to allow their communities to capture and share unique content from games across the country. The partnership will integrate Rematch into the PSG Academy ecosystem and allow for social media collaborations. As part of the agreement, 'Rematch will organize and share the best highlights from across the [PSG] academies for each individual use on a weekly basis. In turn, the PSG Academy brand will be embedded on all captured and shared content from academy competitions and training.' The agreement begins this fall and will include six of PSG academies: Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, and Phoenix. There was even strong interest from PSG's academy in British Columbia, but the Rematch app is not yet operational in Canada, so that agreement will not be finalized until 2026. Rematch U.S. CEO Hanna Howard says this partnership will 'unlock access to content that most academies and clubs don't have.' The highlights will be user-generated, from the sidelines, without the need for a videographer. What is Rematch? Rematch is a French company founded in 2019. It allows sports fans to effortlessly capture highlights and provides 'a dedicated social platform where highlights can be viewed and shared-so every player, every game, every highlight can be seen and celebrated.' FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Unlike traditional videography, which requires a camera, a full match recording, and then hours of video editing to deliver a highlights package, Rematch's software allows fans to live the memorable moment in real-time and then go back and capture it on camera. Using a specialized AI-powered rewind software, fans using the Rematch app just need to hit record after the goal, basket, or try is scored, and the app will automatically capture the preceding fifteen to twenty seconds of action, giving the user a high-quality, ready-made highlight clip. The app was popularized in the French grassroots sports market before launching in the U.S. Since 2019, Rematch has partnered with the French Federations for basketball, soccer, handball, rugby, and others, and has had over 700 million highlights views. Rematch launched in January 2025 in the U.S. In its first six months, Rematch videos have had roughly 10.5 million views across social media platforms, and the app is expected to eclipse more than 10,000 users by the end of August. With more than 2,000 total games filmed and 22,000 highlights captured, the app is democratizing sports visibility, allowing the best moments across all youth sports to be watched. In the company's own words, 'Rematch is a movement to celebrate participation, connect communities, and open new opportunities for sponsors and organizations to engage a passionate sports audience.' PSG Partnership and the Future of Rematch Rematch launched in the U.S. with a focus on youth soccer before successfully expanding into basketball. The app is looking to add more sports, notably volleyball and American football, and even had a brief beta trial with Major League Rugby. The partnership with PSG's U.S. academies was the product of mutual connections. Rematch pitched its offering to the Parisian powerhouse back in April. As Howard recalls, 'they really took a liking to it.' It helped that there was also a French connection. For what Howard describes as 'a significant discount,' the six PSG academies will receive access to user-generated content that can enhance the club's brand visibility in the U.S. The app has no cost, which means parents and casual fans can easily download it. Recording is so simple that any fan with a smartphone can do it. From there, Rematch will review all the captured content, tailor highlight videos, and upload them to social media with club branding. Howard also says there will be opportunities for brand collaborations. Rematch will provide the academies (and any partner entity) with performance metrics of different posts, monthly reports on involvement, and will even spotlight parents who post the most high-performing content as a way of providing inter-academy gamification. Rematch remains hyper-focused on celebrating highlights regardless of sporting level or competition. The company is developing a premium version of the app, which will cost users $4.99 a month and will allow fans to capture videos in 4k or 1080p and will provide filters that remove camera shake, distracting audio, and customized video length — at the moment, soccer highlights default to 15 seconds. The low monthly fee is part of Rematch's efforts to remain appealing to the widest possible user base. As Howard says, 'We are really determined to maintain accessibility for parents.' The partnership with PSG is just the beginning. Rematch is open to the possibility of partnering with professional leagues and clubs, just as it did with MLR. In the age of content creation, this is a chance for all fans to actively celebrate their sports.

GREY GOOSE® VODKA CELEBRATES TENNIS SEASON WITH FRANCES TIAFOE AND THE "LAST SERVE BAR" AT GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL
The French Vodka brand will extend the energy of the US Open® beyond the court with the Last Serve Bar, offering fans one last GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® signature cocktail of the US Open before heading home on the train after a daytime or evening match—open August 27–29 in Vanderbilt Hall. The GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail remains a winning serve at this year's US Open, after generating over $12.8 million in sales with more than 556,000 cocktails sold in 2024 by the USTA. HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GREY GOOSE® vodka is proud to announce its return to the US Open for the 19th year to serve the GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® US Open signature cocktail. The French vodka brand once again invites fans to toast world-class tennis with the season's hottest accessory, this year going beyond the tournament grounds with a new, limited-time bar pop-up at Grand Central Terminal and renewed partnership with American tennis player Frances Tiafoe. For the first time, GREY GOOSE will give fans rushing to and from the US Open another moment to savor the infectious energy of the tournament with the Last Serve Bar: a chance to enjoy a GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® US Open signature cocktail when heading back from watching a daytime or evening match at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Last Serve Bar will be popping up on the east side of the station's Vanderbilt Hall from Wednesday, August 27 through Friday, August 29. For many tournament attendees, Grand Central Terminal is an integral part of the US Open experience. More than 60% of fans use mass transit to and from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center via the 7-subway line and Long Island Railroad (according to the MTA), and many thousands pass through the historic train station, creating a central hub for the excitement the tournament brings to New York City. Open from 5-8 pm and 10 pm-1 am each day, the Last Serve Bar will serve complimentary, on-trend "tiny 'tini" sample-sized GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® and Espresso Martini cocktails for hustling commuters and late-night crowds looking to pause and make time wait. The bar will be unveiled with a spectacle of equally "grand" proportions: follow @ to stay tuned. GREY GOOSE has also teamed up with tennis star Frances Tiafoe for the second year. As a player that embodies cheerful style on and off the court, Tiafoe and GREY GOOSE will inspire fans to savor more moments of pleasure at the US Open, whether that's cheers-ing with a GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail, enjoying a "last call" night cap at the brand's "Last Serve Bar" on the way home from the US Open, or sporting a joyful "tenniscore" fit. "The feeling at the US Open is electric—the crowds, the passion, the style. It's an energy unlike any other Grand Slams tournament and one that could only come from New York City, and I'm excited to keep it going with GREY GOOSE again this year," said Frances Tiafoe. "The GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail has become a symbol of that joyful spirit. It's part of the culture, the look, and the celebration of the tournament." Since its debut 18 years ago, the GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® signature cocktail of the US Open has evolved from a stadium concession to a cultural phenomenon: the exclusive signature cocktail of the US Open can be found on menus at top bars, in the hands of A-list celebrities, on the back of t-shirts and in airport lounges and even thousands of feet above Arthur Ashe Stadium on flights traveling worldwide. Not only is it the "season's hottest accessory," but it is also considered the "economic star of the tournament" with more than 556,000 sold at the 2024 tournament by the USTA— a 23.5% increase over year prior — resulting in a record-setting $12.8 million in sales. "The US Open is a premier sporting event that is truly unlike any other. There's an infectious joyful spirit that inspires people to dress up in their finest fits, enjoy a GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail with friends and cheer on the best players from around the world," said Aleco Azqueta, Global Vice President of Marketing for GREY GOOSE vodka. "With our new Last Serve Bar at Grand Central Terminal, we are inviting fans to take a moment from their busy days to make time wait and savor the spirit of the tournament even after the last point is won." The GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® is crafted with GREY GOOSE vodka, fresh lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and topped with tennis-inspired honeydew melon balls. This year, GREY GOOSE will have branded cocktail bars serving the pink-hued drink in four locations at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center: the Food Village, Grandstand, Louis Armstrong Stadium's concourse, and the promenade level of Arthur Ashe Stadium. For those tuning into the US Open tournament from home, GREY GOOSE will offer the Honey Deuce® Express service in New York, Chicago and, for the first time, Miami, delivering canned versions of the cocktail right to fans' front doors for the duration of the tournament via Uber Eats and Cocktail Courier.

Stat attack: Barcelona field the youngest starting lineup in La Liga on Matchday 1
Barcelona kicked off the 2025/26 La Liga campaign in style, defeating Mallorca 3-0 to claim a perfect start under Hansi Flick. Beyond the scoreline, the game also carried special significance, as Barça set a unique record on the opening day of the season. The Blaugrana lined up with an average age of just 23 years and 272 days, which was the youngest starting XI in La Liga's first round of fixtures. This put them ahead of rivals Real Madrid (25 years and 213 days), Sevilla (25 years and 345 days), Villarreal (26 years and 88 days), and Atletico Madrid (26 years and 90 days). A look at the players Much of the youthful feel came from a reshaped starting eleven. In goal, Joan Garcia (24) was handed the gloves in the absence of Wojciech Szczesny (35), who was unable to register in time, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen (33), who remains sidelined with injury. In defence, Ronald Araujo (26) partnered teenage sensation Pau Cubarsi (18), while Eric Garcia (24) took over at right-back from Jules Kounde (26). In midfield, Fermin Lopez (22) was given a surprising role as a false '9', with Dani Olmo (27) introduced later in the match. Up front, Ferran Torres (25) filled the gap left by veteran Robert Lewandowski (36), who started on the bench. He was supported by Lamine Yamal (18) and Raphinga (28), who was the oldest player in the Barcelona lineup. La Masia continues to lead the way The match was another reminder of how Barcelona have reinvented themselves in recent seasons by trusting their academy. Youngsters like Alejandro Balde (21), Gavi (21), Cubarsi (18), and Yamal (18) have become central to the project, giving the squad a fresh identity full of energy and ambition. The balance, however, remains crucial. While the youth provide dynamism, experience is never too far away. Leaders such as Lewandowski (36), Szczesny (35), and ter Stegen (33) continue to guide the dressing room, ensuring a blend of freshness and maturity.
