EuropeanCommission Plans to Collaborate with Parliament and Council on Draft Legislation for Protecting Employee Rights during Business Transfers

==================================================================

In the world of basketball, two major tournaments are gearing up to captivate fans across the globe. The EuroBasket 2025 and the Champions League 25/26 are set to deliver thrilling matches, unexpected upsets, and intense competition.

Defending champion Spain suffered a shocking loss in the opening game of the EuroBasket 2025, falling to Georgia 83:69. Despite this setback, Spain is not among the favourites to win the tournament, with bookmakers giving higher odds to France (9.00), Greece (13.00), and most notably, the Serbian team (1.90). Germany, on the other hand, appears to be a strong contender, having started the tournament with a clear win against Montenegro (106:76), and boasting Dennis SchrΓΆder's impressive performance with 21 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in their first game.

Meanwhile, in the Champions League 25/26, some of Europe's top clubs are preparing for a gruelling group stage. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, and Eintracht Frankfurt are all set to compete, facing tough opponents such as Manchester City, Inter Milan, and FC Barcelona. Bayern Munich, for example, will be going head-to-head with FC Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Club Brugge, while Borussia Dortmund will take on Manchester City, Villarreal CF, Juventus Turin, and others.

The group phase for the EuroBasket 2025 will continue until September 5, with the knockout phase taking place from September 6 to 14. The Champions League 25/26 group stage has already been drawn, with the matches set to commence in the coming weeks.

However, the excitement of these tournaments is not without controversy. A study by the University of Bristol found that viewers are exposed to gambling advertising every 13 seconds during the final games of the NBA and NHL. This includes logos on players' jerseys, advertising on boards, mentions in the game, and more. In response, several athletes and organizations, including the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) and Olympic athlete Nicola Adams, have called for stricter regulations on betting advertising, particularly in the United States.

As the EuroBasket 2025 and Champions League 25/26 unfold, fans can expect intense competition, dramatic upsets, and a renewed focus on the impact of gambling advertising in sports. With Germany being the clear favourite against Sweden in the EuroBasket 2025 tournament, and Turkey having even higher odds of winning the EuroBasket 2025 compared to Greece, the stage is set for an exciting conclusion to both tournaments.
