Global Acquisitions Corp. Announces Global Sports Entertainment and
Media Operating Strategy
Las Vegas, NV, November 1, 2024 - Global Acquisitions Corp (“Global” or the “Company”) (OTC Pink:AASP) announced today that it has launched an operating strategy to become a leader in the global sports entertainment and media industry and is collaborating with tennis legend Andre Agassi, a long-time significant shareholder in the company. Global’s efforts are initially focused on court sports, beginning with planned growth opportunities associated with branding and growing the pickleball and padel industries, both of which are currently experiencing significant growth. Global expects its publicly traded structure to provide a way for the investing public to participate in these exciting and rapidly growing markets.
Mr. Agassi, a global sports icon having been a World Number 1, 8-time Grand Slam winner, and an Olympic Gold Medalist during his Hall of Fame tennis career, has become one of the highest profile leaders growing pickleball around the world through his participation, endorsements, and investments.
Commenting on the newly adopted strategic direction for Global, CEO Ronald Boreta stated, “We are excited to launch Global as an operating company by leaning into what we believe are our unique advantages to build value for our stakeholders, both now and in the future, by focusing on sports entertainment. We further believe we are ideally positioned in court sports through Andre’s global leadership in the industry to play a leading role in the consolidation of these highly exciting and expanding sports opportunities. To expedite our mission of building a dominant brand within the pickleball and padel industries, we plan to evaluate co-branding and acquisition opportunities with ‘Best of Class’ operators in key segments of these fast-growing markets. We look forward to working closely with Andre toward that goal.”
Adding to Mr. Boreta’s comments, Mr. Agassi stated[JSG31] , “Initially, I started playing pickleball for fun with family and friends. I quickly realized just what this sport can offer to peoples’ lives. It brings community together, bridges generational gaps and transcends cultural barriers, all while promoting health of body and mind. For these reasons and more, I am excited to support Global’s initiatives to grow the business of pickleball and the other racquet sports worldwide.”
