AB  - This paper analyses the legal reform aimed at implementing a centralised 
marketing model for audiovisual rights in Portuguese professional football, 
interpreting it as a politically contested and transformative process. Promoted 
through legislation as an instrument to correct revenue distribution inequalities 
among clubs and to enhance competitive balance, the measure translates into a 
reconfiguration of the institutional, symbolic, and media fields, exposing 
structural tensions within the Portuguese football ecosystem. Grounded in a 
qualitative documentary analysis, the study examines the frictions between 
dominant clubs, regulatory bodies, and media dynamics. Assemblage theory 
constitutes the central analytical lens, enabling an understanding of how actors, 
discourses, and dispositifs, in the Foucauldian sense, articulate and reconfigure in 
contexts of pronounced power asymmetry. The article contributes by 
conceptualising centralisation as a dynamic relational assemblage, critically 
demonstrating how reforms oriented towards competitive balance may 
simultaneously reconfigure and reproduce structural inequalities within the 
football ecosystem.
