The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has opened a consultation period for the proposed merger between Sportradar and IMG Arena. 

The regulatory body is seeking public input on whether the combination would substantially reduce competition in the market.

The CMA has issued a statement inviting comments from interested parties regarding the potential competitive impact of the merger. 

This consultation is part of the standard regulatory review process that the UK competition watchdog conducts for significant business combinations.

The authority will use the feedback gathered during this period to help determine if the transaction raises competition concerns that warrant further investigation.
