Joseph Oughourlian
Joseph Oughourlian, 53, is a prominent businessman and the president of Racing Club de Lens, a Ligue 1 football club in France. As the founder of Amber Capital, he has made significant contributions to the finance sector. Recently, he garnered attention for his critical views on the ongoing crisis surrounding television rights in French professional football, arguing that the frequent changes in broadcasters have led to a severe decline in viewer subscriptions and revenue. Oughourlian believes that the current governance structure of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) is flawed and advocates for more sustainable broadcasting solutions to stabilize the financial situation of French football clubs.
