The Canal+ Group has announced that it will acquire Occade Sport, a company specialising in the organisation of sports events. The rationale is to strengthen the group’s position in the French sports market by buying one of the best known organisations in the country from its owner, Gones & Sports.
The company hopes to complete the acquisition by the end of February and will integrate it with its own Canal+ Events division, as part of the Edition du Groupe Canal+, under responsibility of the Direction des Sports, headed by Alexandre Bompard.
