Tenfield

Tenfield is a term primarily associated with sports broadcasting, specifically in South America, and most prominently in Uruguay. It refers to a sports marketing and television production company founded by Francisco "Paco" Casal.

Tenfield holds the rights to broadcast the Uruguayan Primera División (the top professional football league) and the Uruguayan national football team's matches. They also have significant influence in other areas of Uruguayan football and sports media.

The company's establishment and subsequent dominance in the Uruguayan football broadcasting landscape have been the subject of controversy and debate. Critics often accuse Tenfield of having a monopolistic hold on broadcasting rights and using its influence to the detriment of smaller clubs and alternative media outlets. Supporters argue that the company has professionalized the broadcasting of Uruguayan football and generated significant revenue for the sport.

The term "Tenfield" is therefore often used not just to refer to the company itself, but also as shorthand for the complex and sometimes contentious relationship between sports, media, and business in Uruguay. It carries connotations of power, influence, and potential conflicts of interest within the context of Uruguayan football.
