Bold Sports seeks strategic partners for on-ground coverage of major global sporting events
These include:
2025 AFCON – Morocco (December 21, 2025 – January 18, 2026)
2026 FIFA World Cup – USA, Mexico&Canada (June 11 – July 19, 2026)
2026 Commonwealth Games – Glasgow, Scotland (23 July to 2 August 2026)
2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup – Berlin, Germany (September 4 – 13, 2026)
While Bold Sports was not physically present at 2024 WAFCON and the 2025 Women's AfroBasket in Morocco and Ivory Coast respectively, its digital coverage set it apart, delivering a proudly Nigerian, fan-first experience across platforms complete with match previews, player features, live watch-alongs, vibrant commentary, and behind-the-scenes narratives that resonated with local fans as Nigeria's Super Falcons claimed the title for the 10th time and D'Tigress won their fifth straight title.
The results underscored its rising influence:
Now, Bold Sports is ready to go even further by being physically present at the upcoming tournaments. This shift to on-site coverage will enable real-time storytelling, richer content, and exclusive access to Team Nigeria and fans, providing a more immersive experience for its growing audience.
More importantly, Bold Sports believes it has a national responsibility to tell Nigerian stories on the global stage — up close, with nuance, and with pride.
'We've already proven what we can do from home. But these next competitions are different — they're massive, and our athletes need us there,' CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Bold Sports, Tosin Oluwalowo said. 'The Super Eagles, D'Tigress, our Commonwealth athletes – Nigerians care deeply about these teams. They want to see them, hear from them, feel what they're feeling. We're ready to be there to deliver that. And we're calling on the right partners to make it happen.'
The recent historic triumph of D'Tigress at the 2025 FIBA Women's Afrobasket where they became the first African team to win five straight titles has only deepened this emotional connection. Nigerians are eager to follow the team's journey to Berlin 2026, to show support, and to witness them make more history.
'It's not just about the games,' Bold Sports COO and Managing Editor Kelvin Ekerete said. 'Nigerians want to know what their athletes are going through in camp. They want to see the tears, the celebrations, the setbacks, and the triumphs. Being there lets us bring all that home – and that's what we intend to do.'
Bold Sports is now in conversations with corporate sponsors, institutions, media brands, and philanthropic partners to support each event individually. Partnership opportunities include travel logistics, branded digital shows, athlete features, tech and equipment support, and fan activations – all with strong brand visibility and access to a growing, engaged Nigerian sports audience.
'We want partners who believe in the value of Nigerian stories,' Oluwalowo added. 'From the pitches of Morocco to the courts of Berlin, this is our time to show up – and with the right support, Bold Sports will be there to capture it all.'

US Stocks: S&P 500, Nasdaq hit new closing highs on rate cut hopes
NEW YORK: The benchmark S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes hit new closing highs for the second straight day on Wednesday on hopes that the Federal Reserve was getting close to a monetary easing cycle. But the market reflected weakness in some technology stocks after the previous day's strong gains. Signs that U.S. tariffs on imports have not fully filtered into headline consumer prices came as a relief for investors this week as they seek insight on the impact of trade uncertainty on the economy. Some large technology stocks including Nvidia, Alphabet and Microsoft - among the so-called Magnificent Seven stocks - closed lower as investors searched for new growth drivers. "Valuations are elevated. I do think, though, at the end of the day, the key will be the delivery of earnings, and that's what we're seeing," said Katherine Bordlemay, co-head of client portfolio management, fundamental equities at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. She said the dispersion of stock-level returns in the U.S. is at one of the higher levels of the last 30 years. Apple rose 1.6% after Bloomberg News reported the company is plotting expansion into AI-powered robots, home security and smart displays. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 463.66 points, or 1.04%, to 44,922.27, the S&P 500 gained 20.82 points, or 0.32%, to 6,466.58 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 31.24 points, or 0.14%, to 21,713.14. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks rate-sensitive small-cap companies, rose almost 2% to hit a six-month high. Traders are now fully pricing in a 25 basis-point interest rate cut, according to the CME's FedWatch Tool. The central bank last lowered borrowing costs in December. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday he thought an aggressive half-point cut was possible, given recent weak employment numbers. Investors were also taking notice of other sectors following the recent tech-led rally in U.S. stocks that has pushed valuations of the S&P 500 above long-term averages. Healthcare stocks, which have been beaten down for much of the year, rose 1.6% to rank among the leading sectors in the 11 S&P 500 sectors. Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said on Wednesday the U.S. central bank is grappling with understanding whether tariffs will push up inflation just temporarily or more persistently, which would inform its decision on when to cut interest rates. CoreWeave, which is backed by Nvidia, fell almost 21% after the AI data center operator reported a bigger-than-expected quarterly net loss. Paramount Skydance jumped 36.7% as the company won exclusive broadcasting rights to the Ultimate Fighting Championship for seven years. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 4.05-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. There were 630 new highs and 56 new lows on the NYSE. On the Nasdaq, advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.53-to-1 ratio. The S&P 500 posted 40 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 149 new highs and 69 new lows. Volume on U.S. exchanges was relatively light, with 16.9 billion shares traded, compared with an average of 18.3 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.

Goldman Sachs sees Fed cutting rates thrice in 2025, twice more in 2026
NEW YORK: Goldman Sachs said on Wednesday in a research note it expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to deliver three 25-basis-point interest rate cuts this year and two more in 2026. This would put the terminal rate at between 3% and 3.25%, down from the current 4.25%-4.50% level. The Goldman note followed data on Tuesday showing U.S. consumer prices increased marginally in July, rising just 0.2% last month after a gain of 0.3% in June, in line with economists' expectations. The moderation in the Consumer Price Index reflected a 2.2% decline in gasoline prices. Food prices were unchanged after rising 0.3% for two straight months. U.S. rate futures priced in late Wednesday a 93% chance of a 25-bps easing next month and as much as a 7% probability of a 50-bps rate decline, according to LSEG calculations. The latter was 3% earlier on Wednesday. Traders also implied about 65 bps of easing this year, up from roughly 60 bps last week. The slight pop in the 50-bps odds on Wednesday came after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pushed for cuts of that magnitude in interviews with Fox News on Tuesday and Bloomberg TV on Wednesday. Bessent said on Bloomberg TV that he thought an aggressive half-point cut was possible given recent weak employment numbers. He based his argument for cuts on recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing soft employment gains in May, June, and July, in contrast to initial estimates for May and June indicating stronger employment growth. "Rates are too constrictive ... We should probably be 150 to 175 basis points lower," Bessent said, adding to the Trump administration's penchant for public criticism and detailed policy advice for the independent central bank.

Oil regains ground from 2-month lows ahead of Trump-Putin meeting
TOKYO: Oil prices edged higher on Thursday, regaining ground after a sell-off in the previous session, with the upcoming meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin raising risk premiums in the market. Brent crude futures were up 28 cents, or 0.43%, at $65.91 a barrel at 0057 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 23 cents, or 0.37%, to $62.89. Both contracts hit their lowest in two months on Wednesday after bearish supply guidance from the U.S. government and the International Energy Agency (IEA). Trump on Wednesday threatened "severe consequences" if Putin does not agree to peace in Ukraine. Trump did not specify what the consequences could be, but he has warned of economic sanctions if the meeting in Alaska on Friday proves fruitless. "The uncertainty of U.S.-Russia peace talks continues to add a bullish risk premium given Russian oil buyers could face more economic pressure," Rystad Energy said in a client note. "How Ukraine-Russia crisis resolves and Russia flows change could bring some unexpected surprises." Another support for oil is that the expectation that the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut rates in September is at close to 100% after U.S. inflation increased at a moderate pace in July. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he thought an aggressive half-point cut was possible given recent weak employment numbers. The market is putting the odds of a quarter-percentage point cut at the Fed's September 16-17 meeting at 99.9%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Lower borrowing rates would drive demand for oil. The dollar was hovering near multi-week lows against the euro and sterling on Thursday as traders ramped up bets for the Fed to resume cutting interest rates next month. Oil prices were kept in check as crude inventories in the United States unexpectedly rose by 3 million barrels in the week ended on August 8, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Wednesday, against expectations in a Reuters poll for a 275,000-barrel draw. Also, holding oil back was an International Energy Agency forecast that 2025 and 2026 world oil supply would rise more rapidly than expected, as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, together known as OPEC+, increase output and production from outside the group grows.
