In 2012, Yousef played a pivotal role in the beIN MEDIA GROUP’s international expansion of its network, where he was responsible for the launch of beIN SPORTS France, Americas and Asia-Pacific.

In December 2013, alongside beIN MEDIA GROUP Chairman, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Yousef completed the transition of Al Jazeera Sport into beIN SPORTS, the international sports network.
