This change affects only the Sportal.hu operation and involves a structured wind-down of the platform within the RSMG portfolio. As media and sports media activities operate as strategically and operationally independent business units within the Ringier Group, the decision is unrelated to the recent sale of Ringier AG’s media portfolio in Hungary and does not involve a sale or transfer to another owner.

RSMG remains firmly committed to the European sports media market and will continue to focus on strategically prioritized brands and platforms across seven countries: Sportal Media Group in Bulgaria (sportal.bg, Sportal365), gsp.ro (Romania), sportal.rs (Serbia), sport.sk (Slovakia), A Bola (Portugal), Sportnieuws.nl (the Netherlands), and RSMG kicker Switzerland (kicker.ch and sport.ch).

Employees of sportal.hu have been informed of the decision. RSMG is committed to treating all affected colleagues with respect and responsibility and to ensuring that the process is fair, transparent, and fully compliant with applicable law.

Operations of sportal.hu will be wound down in a controlled manner by the end of 2025. The website and associated social media channels will be discontinued.
