Yahoo Adds Daily Fantasy Soccer; Signs Revenue Sharing Deal

The daily fantasy sports industry received a resounding amount of attention when Yahoo launched its own daily fantasy platform in July.  Right now, Yahoo offers a daily fantasy baseball competition, but will add American football, basketball and hockey offerings when the major professional sports leagues resume play.  However, the most exciting news for Yahoo may have nary a focus on the 50 U.S. states.  It comes in the form of a partnership that will allow Yahoo to quickly expand its reach in the world of soccer and get a leg up on competitor DraftKings, which also seems to be positioning itself for expansion abroad.
