Juan Franchini’s Post

2023 has been an extraoridnary year!!! Important accomplishments marked my professional path. I have been chosen for the third time by Elon University, America´s Top-Ranked Teaching University, located in North Carolina, USA, to organize in Buenos Aires city special visits to Sports Industry places. In this case, we were welcome in the facilities of Argentina Training Center, the current Football World Champions. We also visited the offices and Studios of TyC Sports, the most important argentinian sports channel. Thanks Pedro Freire, Programming and OTT Chief, and Martín Horacio Rubino Baña, Vice Programming and OTT Chief, for so much hospitality. And in the same day UADE opened its doors to Elon University students to visit Buenos Aires Campus. Thanks Paula Catalina Iglesias for making this possible. Thanks to my colleagues from Elon University for continuing trust me on my professional capacity: David Bockino, Tony Weaver, Cara Lucia and Tommy Kopetskie. We have been working together for almost 5 years and I'm sure we will continue developing ties between USA and Argentina. It's always a pleasure for me to work with Elon University. Then I've been chosen to work for FIFA U-20 World Cup Argentina 2023 as Announcer. It was a huge confidence to give me the responsability to announce in Group Matches, Round of sixteen, Semi-Finals, 3rd Place, Final and Closing Ceremony in La Plata and Quater Finals in San Juan. Thanks Lance Brass and Tulio Ferro for giving me the opportunity and let me be part of the extraordinary FIFA Infotainment Team. It was a wonderful and enriching professional experience. In UADE in Sports Media class, with Professor Claudio Melito, we had the honour to have as Speaker a friend, colleague and excellent professional as Victor Pochat, ESPN Latin America Director Programming and Scheduling. It was an important opportunity for our students to learn from an excellent professional as Victor Pochat. Thanks for your time Víctor. I have also organized a Hockey Field Exhibition, invited by the Sport Secretary of Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos, Argentina, with ex Leona Carla Dupuy, winner of two silver medals in the Olympic Games. Thanks my friend and colleague Carlos Adrian Romani for doing this possible. In UADE I had the honour to be invited to participate as Jury and Mentor in the Thesis "Copa Pioneras 2024" of brilliants students: Violeta Ovando, Yasmín Kanneman and Belén Ameijenda. And finally, at the end of 2023, TyC Sports invited me for the last night of Boxing in the mythical Luna Park Stadium. Thanks again Pedro Freire and Martín Horacio Rubino Baña for your hospitality. I wish you all the best for this 2024!!! #internationalsportsindustry #fifa #elonuniversity #tycsports #uade #espn #eventsorganization

Les comparto la Editorial que escribí para la Revista Cábala, radicada en La Paz, Bolivia. Se trata sobre si: ¿Será Messi el medio para posicionar a la Major League Soccer entre las Ligas más importantes del mundo? Sin dudas las miradas del Fútbol van a estar puestas en los próximos años en EE.UU ya que será sede de varias de las competiciones más importantes: CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, FIFA Club World Cup 2025 y FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico & USA . Muchas gracias a mi colega Edsy Gisbert Castillo, una de los Directores de la revista, por convocarme y darme esta oportunidad. Espero les resulte interesante. #Messi #MajorLeagueSoccer #Fútbol #RevistaCábala
