DFL Economic Report 23-24

The image shows a sports match, specifically what appears to be a soccer game. We can see a player in the act of striking the ball from an overhead position, likely taking a corner kick or performing some skillful action such as a bicycle kick. Other players are on the field, and one of them is holding their fist up to their chest, which might indicate they scored a goal or had a close encounter with the ball. In the background, there's a banner with the name "FOX" suggesting that the photograph may be taken during a broadcast of the match by the Fox Sports network. The scoreboard indicates it is a Premier League game between two teams, with one team having scored 10 goals and the other having conceded 20. The photo has a watermark across the bottom left corner.
