Background Fantasy sports are a rapidly growing complement to the sports industry and recent research has explored the mental health experiences of those who play the game. Aim This study aimed to test the findings from two such studies ( Wilkins et al., 2021 ; Wilkins et al., 2023 ). Methods Questionnaire data measuring depression, anxiety, stress, positive mood, negative mood, problematic behaviour, and functional impairment from 635 fantasy football players were analysed using one-way ANOVAs. Results Amongst the significant results were the findings that: i) more experienced players reported less anxiety than less experienced players, and ii) players who engaged more with the game, made more social comparisons, and had greater financial involvement generally reported more mental health concerns and more positive mood than other players. Conclusion Engagement levels play an important role in determining the wellbeing experience of fantasy football participants. These findings also lend support to the ‘Framework of Hypothesised Factors Leading to Predominantly Positive or Negative Experiences in FF’ and should be used by stakeholders within the fantasy sports industry to optimise the game-playing experience of participants.

Edible oil manufacturing companies in South Africa generate significant amounts of revenue, which they do not capitalize on. South Africa has no shortage of consumer demand for commodities. The edible oil sector is hampered by poor raw material output in the nation, insufficient financing by value-chain participants, and a shortage of specific effort and understanding in growing the value chain. The research aim was to evaluate the impact of value chain financing on profitability for South Africa's edible oil manufacturing companies via raw materials and working capital approaches. Utilizing secondary data collected from the financial statements of edible oil manufacturing companies from 2012 to 2022. Throughout the research, a positivism paradigm was applied using a descriptive retrospective panel data approach. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the connection between the value chain financing variables (raw materials as well as working capital) and the profitability of edible oil manufacturing companies in South Africa. On financing in raw material there was a negative correlation among the two variables, but it is not statistically significant (r = -0.030, p =.424). On financing in working capital, there was a positive correlation (r =.201, p =.012), the connection between financing in creditors management and profitability in the edible oil company has a positive correlation (r =.162, p = 0.09) but is not statistically significant. The research found that raw material financing and working capital financing had no statistically significant connection to the profitability of edible oil manufacturing companies in South Africa.

The internationalization of sports events and the increasing reach of brand identification are now a central part of the world's cultural and commercial activity, and the way that these events are branded is a key part of the story. This chapter reviews the internationalization of events, trends in contemporary practice in terms of organization, and where these developments are going, looking in particular at the role of branding. This is a book on sports, so we are talking about the commercial sports world, which is the main growth area, and has very important social, economic, and cultural implications. People's interest in sports has several dimensions. Initially, as someone brought up in England, a Geordie and a fan of Newcastle United Football Club, persons whose favorite pastime has been watching football, more familiarly known in the UK as soccer. Then later in their lives, they switched clubs to the NFL, the National Football League in the US, becoming Dallas Cowboys supporters. But more recently, people have been going to watch cricket, as England has two world-class grounds.
