SportBusiness Marketplace Directory 2010 by SportBusiness Group

THE GLOBAL SPORTS SERVICES DIRECTORY

WELCOME

Welcome to SportBusiness Marketplace 2010 WELCOME to Marketplace 2010, the first edition of a brand new yearbook from SportBusiness Group which provides a window on the global business of sport. From the vantage point of SportBusiness International, we have been privileged to chart the development of professional sport across the world as more and more countries recognise it’s potential. As the past year as shown, no longer can established sporting nations assume to bring home the biggest prizes or dominate events. Turbulent economic times have thrown up some major surprises, as the data in the pages that follow shows. An overall picture of apparent stability in terms of sponsorship, TV rights and major events revenues masks a much more complex reality where new entrants from new territories are rapidly making their presence felt. Marketplace was conceived to reflect this increasing globalisation and provide a way of navigating it. Those with long memories will be aware that Marketplace is an evolution of our established Britsport yearbook as a response to the needs of the business. The commercial players in the industry recognise that a huge opportunity lies outside their national borders and Marketplace is designed to provide a global platform for a global industry. A key feature of Marketplace is an extensive data driven profile of 60 of the most significant countries in the world of sport. We have compiled details of

government agencies, major federations, sports broadcasters, stadia and universities to provide that most essential commodity: contacts. In addition to the yearbook, Marketplace is backed up by a continually updated online destination which lists tenders, directory, jobs, people moves and events in the business of sport. www.sportbusiness.com/ marketplace is rapidly becoming one of the most popular sections of our website and a valuable source of opportunities all year round. Taking Marketplace global has been an interesting challenge and highlighted some unique opportunities. There are still many territories which are sparsely populated in the industry and my hope is that you will use this guide to help plot your course to new markets. As you and others do so Marketplace will change in years to come to reﬂect the new boundaries being drawn up. It is exciting to imagine how different the industry will look in 5 years time. Marketplace will be part of that growth and I hope you will grow with it.

Media, Brands & Marketing and Major Events: essential revenue streams for the business of sport Every month SportBusiness International brings you information, insight and analysis into these three core pillars of the industry. What follows is our analysis of the past 12 months and some insights into what we can expect for 2010.

media

The Global TV Sports Rights Market While the broadcast landscape has changed beyond all recognition in the past decade, top sporting events have been one of the few forms of programming that broadcasters can rely on to regularly pull in millions of eyeballs. And, as the latest survey by TV Sports Markets shows, some of the top sporting properties negotiating new television deals in the last 12 months have been able to bring in big increases in revenue despite the ongoing financial downturn. According to TV Sports Markets’ second annual survey, the top 10 properties now all bring in over $1 billion per annum in television-rights fees. In last year’s survey, only the Uefa Champions League brought in less than $1 billion per year. Between 2006-07 and 2008-09, Uefa brought in $933 million per year, but following a successful sales process for the 2009-10 to 2011-12 period, the competition now boasts an annual television income of $1.228 billion. The underlying reason for the 31 percent increase in annual revenue is that the Champions League is one of the ‘must-have’ properties for many broadcasters in Europe and increasingly elsewhere around the world. For free-to-air broadcasters, it delivers big audiences across a 10-month season which can help buck the trend for declining market shares. Meanwhile for pay-television companies, there is increasing evidence that the Champions League can positively impact subscriber numbers. The Uefa property’s growing importance to

broadcasters was not the only factor influencing rights fee increases. Timetable changes and the restructuring of the commercial rights mean the competition is now played on 33 match nights compared to a previous 25. This 30 per cent expansion of inventory gave TEAM Marketing, the agency which sells the rights on behalf of Uefa, a platform to push for more revenue from broadcasters from the outset. Not that negotiating for the Champions League in some of the biggest television markets in Europe was easy. Notable rises came in the UK, the competition’s single biggest market, where ITV and BSkyB will pay a combined £425 million, a 65 percent increase over the three-year period. In Germany, fees rose by 20 per cent and in Spain by 35 per cent. However,

Luis Fabiano - Getty Images in Italy rights fees fell by 11 per cent driven by a precipitous fall in the value of free-to-air rights. In France, broadcasters paid seven per cent less. It is no coincidence that the onset of the global financial crisis came after the deals in the UK, Spain and Germany were signed, but before the deals in France and Italy were negotiated. In terms of global television revenue, American football’s National Football League (NFL) brings in more revenue from television rights sales than any other rights-holder. Recent extensions with its incumbent domestic broadcasters mean it now brings in an estimated average of $3.855 billion per annum in rights fees until 2011. The extension agreed with network partners CBS, Fox and NBC brings them

into line with cable sports channel ESPN expiring in 2013. But thanks to a new deal with its other domestic partner DirecTV, it will now bring in $4.074 billion a year in those two years – the NFL negotiating a 43 percent increase in rights fee with DirecTV. The 2012 Olympic Games is the second-biggest television property and a recent deal with state broadcaster CCTV in China boosted the running total for the event to $2.5 billion, with the International Olympic Committee still to do deals in Latin America (excluding Brazil) and sub-Saharan Africa (for freeto-air rights only). The stunning success of CCTV’s coverage of the Beijing Olympics last year paved the way for a record television rights deal for the 2010 and 2012 Games. CCTV is paying $100 million for

the multi-platform rights for 2010 and 2012 (of which $82 million is for the London Games), approximately 450 per cent more than it paid for the 2006 and 2008 Games. It is China’s biggest ever television sports rights deal. The IOC has already begun its sales process for the 2014 and 2016 Olympic Games, with the Sportfive agency agreeing deals in Korea and Turkey, plus a large number of European markets. Its deals in Brazil, which were agreed just weeks before the announcement that Rio de Janeiro would host the 2016 Games, brought in $170 million, more than three times what was paid for 2008 and 2010. In total, the IOC has brought in a total close to $950 million for the 2014 and 2016 Games so far. Another rights holder which is well into its negotiations for its next contract period is the English Premier League. The league brings in $1.64 billion per year in global television rights fees over the 200708 to 2009-10 period. Early deals for 2010-11 to 201213 point to a big increase for the league. Not only did it secure a 4.5 percent increase in fees for its domestic live rights, it has brought in massive hikes in revenue from other parts of the world. In the Middle East, it tripled its take after signing a deal with the Abu Dhabi Media Company. A similar rise was achieved in India and in both Singapore and Malaysia fees have increased by 70 per cent.

Domestic football leagues are the lifeblood of paytelevision companies all around Europe. Of the top 10 single deals in the region, seven are between national leagues and pay-operators. The high cost and limited opportunity of supporting a team at the stadium means there is a massive demand from fans to watch their favourite team on television. This in turn is a key driver of pay-television subscriptions and explains the massive fees paid by subscription-based companies. For the same reason, in Latin America, football leagues attract the highest rights fees. National leagues in other sports attract the top fees in other parts of the world. In the US, the NFL, the NBA, the NCAA and the MLB leagues all attract massive fees. In AsiaPacific, the domestic deal in India for the Indian Premier League is the second biggest agreement in the region. Deals in Australia for the AFL and NRL also rank highly.

brands & marketing

The Sports Sponsorship Market Looking back over 2008 and 2009 it is clear that sponsorship is suffering along with rest of the world economy, with dire predictions being made in the press every time a sponsorship comes to an (often natural) end. However, behind the headlines the real picture is more complex. Formula One driver, Mark Webber - Getty Images

brands & marketing One of the most useful indicators of the state of play in sports sponsorship is The World Sponsorship Monitor (TWSM), produced by IFM Sports Marketing Surveys. It analyses sponsorship deals reported in the international media drawing on a large sample to provide an insight into brand behaviours. TWSM is not focused only on ‘mega deals’: any sponsorship contract with a value of $75,000 or more is included making it possible to drill down and explore current trends among small to mid-sized brands too. The total number of sponsorships reported in 2008 was 1,333 against 1,196 in 2007 indicating sponsorship was not too badly affected by the credit crunch, which really tightened its grip in late summer last year. Going into 2009, results from TWSM suggest that there was no significant decline in the volume of new sponsorships being reported. In the first quarter of 2009, compared to the same period the previous year, slightly fewer new deals were signed overall (300 compared to 302). However, the number of withdrawals by brands from sponsorship increased (42 this year compared to 24 last year) and it remains to be seen how renewals will be affected across the full 12 months. Given that many deals are signed over three or more years, it is likely that many will run unaffected through the economic downturn. William Fenton, editor of TWSM, points out that “in 2008 the proportion of higher value sponsorships (valued at over $10 million) over the total sample was actually higher (19 per cent in 2008 compared to 13 per cent in 2007). This is because brands are seeking out partnerships with the mega events, such as the

Olympics, American football’s NFL, Formula One and major football brands, which draw huge television audiences. This was borne out in 2008 by the number of sponsorships announced for the Beijing Olympics as well as the London Games in 2012.” However, in early 2009, TWSM was predicting an increase in lower-value deals of a shorter duration and, as suggested by anecdotal evidence, the properties in between the premium events and the more common lower-value properties will be squeezed hard. In terms of sponsoring industries, cars, banks and retailers are amongst the most exposed sectors in the current turndown and it is perhaps unsurprising that it is expected there will be some reduction of sponsorship activity by these sectors over 2009. The 1,333 deals which are included in TWSM’s 2008 Annual Review illustrate trends in sponsorship type, region, values and sponsoring industries. This year’s review showed that sport continued to dominate the global sponsorship market accounting for 79 per cent of all sponsorship deals and 88 per cent of total value Naming rights deals are relatively rare – accounting for just four per cent of all sponsorship deals signed – but they attract proportionally higher rights fees. In 2008, seven per cent of total committed investment went into naming rights. Naming rights boomed in 2006 and 2007 with notable deals such as Barclays’ record breaking $400 million naming deal for the new arena of the NBA basketball team New Jersey Nets. The biggest naming rights deal in terms of total investment, was signed by the Consol Energy

company, which committed $84 million over 21 years to be the naming rights sponsor of the stadium of NHL ice hockey team the Pittsburgh Penguins (the 12th-biggest of all sponsorship deals signed in 2008). In terms of annual committed fee, the two biggest venue deals are those signed by drinks company Anheuser-Busch and financial services firm MetLife for the new Meadowlands Stadium – the new home of the NFL teams the New York Jets and New York Giants. Under their deals, the two companies will pay a reported $8 million per year each over five years. Outside the US, the biggest naming rights deal was in Germany where Mercedes named Bundesliga club Stuttgart’s 55,000 seat stadium the MercedesBenz Arena, in a deal worth $31 million over 30 years. Also in Germany the Signal Iduna Group signed an early five-year extension to its contract with Borussia Dortmund to retain its sponsorship of the ‘Signal Iduna Park’, Germany’s biggest football stadium. For the fourth year in succession, the automotive industry is the most prolific spender in sports sponsorship, signing 143 deals in 2008, up from 125 in 2007. The banking sector was next with 110 deals, down from 127. Sports clothing remains a major sponsoring industry: it is the third biggest, signing 97 deals in 2008 compared to 68 the previous year. Six of the top 10 most valuable deals in 2008 were signed by clothing and kit makers. The two biggest deals of 2008 were signed by Nike. The first was with the French Football Federation starting in 2011, covering seven years and worth $474.6 million. The second was with Italian Serie A club, Inter Milan, worth $206 million over 10 years.

Telecommunications continues to be important as fifth-biggest industry in terms of number of deals signed (72 in 2008 compared to 53 in 2007. BT, Nortel and Deutsche Telekom were the third, fourth and 10th biggest spending sponsors. For the first time the travel industry is in the top 10 sponsoring industries, following a number of deals between sports clubs and travel destinations or tourist boards. In total, there were 37 deals signed by the travel sector in 2008, up from 13 the previous year. The number of airlines deals also increased to 59, from 46. Unsurprisingly, the most sponsored sport is football both in terms of the total number and the total value of reported deals. In 2008, there were 262 football sponsorship deals compared to 218 in the previous year. Five of the top 10 deals signed in 2008 were for football, together totalling over $1 billion alone. Tennis became a hotter property for sponsors, moving into the top 10 in terms of number of deals signed. The sixth biggest deal of 2008 was Nike’s $118 million sponsorship agreement with Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer. Motorsport fell out of the top 10 most sponsored sports in 2008. Formula One experienced fewer major headline deals in 2007, though notable exceptions were the Olympus $30 million deal with the McLaren team and Reebok’s $20 million deal with 2008 Formula One Champion Lewis Hamilton.

SPORTS TOURISM – DAvID WALMsLeY AnD PHIL sAvAGe

FoBeijing Olympics 2008 - Getty Images

The trouble with sports tourism is that it is so hard to get your arms around. The solution is not to imagine you are talking about one thing argues a new report from SportBusiness. THE THOUSANDS OF VISITORS arriving in Beijing clutching tickets for the 29th Olympic Games were sports tourists, as is the man collecting a set of golf clubs from an airport baggage carousel in the Algarve. But if a visitor to the South Africa World Cup spends more than half their trip on safari do they count? And what about the father and son who take windsurfing lessons during a beach holiday? Does a family day out at Melbourne Cricket Ground’s National Sports Museum (NSM) count too? Academics involved in this field have paid far more attention to this debate than have those on the ground selling the match tickets, ski passes and travel packages. Yet awareness of the way in which the market is segmented is a cornerstone of any successful sports tourism strategy. This goes for venues and destinations alike, whether aspiring or established. Each segment differs significantly in its character and requirements and it is impossible to assess the impacts and benefits of a sports tourism strategy if it remains unclear which visitors, participants or spectators are contributing to those gains. In the current economic climate, demonstrating that new tourist dollars were only spent through a sporting event is the only way of justifying investment in a sports tourism strategy. Sports tourism spending is notoriously difficult to isolate; clearly delineating where this expenditure begins and ends makes its measurement far more reliable. Humans are messy creatures and getting a complete picture of sports tourism is made more complicated by individual behaviours. On the one hand, this blurring of boundaries can create difficulties in making precise impact assessments; on the other, it creates opportunities for innovative destinations to increase the sum of their component parts. In Melbourne, for example, the city’s primary nostalgia sports tourism venue, the NSM, is able to draw on its spectator sector for both marketing and footfall. It works closely with the Victorian Major Events Company to tie in its temporary attractions

with the city’s hosting schedule. Elsewhere, Dubai’s all-out, all-sector approach to tourism development means that sports tourism in the Emirate is not seen as a specialist sector but as a contributor in its own right to all the rest. The examples of Melbourne and Dubai identify the three main types of visitor that can contribute to a sports tourism strategy, either singly or in combination:  Spectator sports tourism,  Participation sports tourism, and  Nostalgia sports tourism Alongside these should also be considered incidental tourism which may not have as intense a sporting focus as the other three, but clearly has a value in its own right. Impacts will vary hugely within individual sectors according to the sport, facility and location assessed, but in terms of the degree to which sport is at the centre of the tourism experience a clear hierarchy can be seen. Among participants, establishing why they are there is easy but within the group there is a clear distinction between recreational and competitive participation. The recreational tourist is the bread and butter of snow sports resorts and golf complexes, while the serious competitor is represented by competitive events that are either a value add for recreation-led destinations or one-off or serial generators of shortterm tourism flows. When looking at events, the definition of participation tourism takes in visitors who are there to support the competitors – the coaches, family and friends – or the functioning of the event – e.g. officials and media personnel. When trying to understand the economic and other benefits of sports tourism, the one-size approach also fails to paint the full picture of impacts. Some sports tourists are easily recognised; others blend in with the crowd. The benefits of sports tourism to a destination or venue are equally diverse – not just in their relative ease of identification, but also in their scale, significance and duration.

Pinning down these benefits is the essential starting point for the development of any sports tourism strategy. Whilst the headlines announced by leading host cities promise rich rewards, measuring the benefits of individual events and destination development is complicated by a wide range of factors. Direct expenditure is easier to identify around ticketed spectator events than in participation destinations where sports tourism may be just one aspect of a holiday. But in the spectator sector, the strategist is also faced with the task of identifying which portion of economic impact is truly additional expenditure and not simply spending displaced from either another time period or tourist group. Professor Dr Holger Preuss, professor of sports economics and sports management at Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz, Germany, has identified different types of ‘event affected persons’ whose tourism and travel behaviours are significant determinants of economic impact around major multi-sport events. These comprise event visitors who would not be there if the event was not happening, extensioners who have extended a planned trip to take in the event, time switchers who alter their plans to be in town during the event, casuals who would have visited regardless and residents who chose to stay at home and take advantage of the event. Set against these are the avoiders who either abandon or postpone plans to visit due to the event and resident runaways who take additional holiday or change their usual holiday plans to head out of town and avoid the event. The behaviour of these groups can influence economic impact before and after the event as well as during it, but do have

High

distinct positive and negative effects. Typically, the economic impact of spectator sports tourism is limited to the immediate event locale, even in the indirect effects of place. A study of Alpine destinations conducted by the University of Milan examined the impact of Turin’s hosting of the 2006 Winter Olympics on inbound visitor flows to the city and surrounding region. It found that while both Turin and the designated ‘Olympic Valleys’ saw increases in tourist numbers of 25 and 16 per cent respectively between 2002 and 2005, visits to the other nine nearby Alpine tourism destinations surveyed remained flat. Bad news, though, travels further, with the negative economic impacts of event hosting being felt much farther afield. The Sydney Olympics are a classic example in that they did Western Australia a great deal of harm by putting non-Olympic tourists off going to the country altogether. In Sydney, the people who didn’t go were compensated for by the sports tourists, but that didn’t happen anywhere else. This lesson has been recognised ahead of the 2010 Vancouver Games by the neighbouring US state of Oregon. It has identified opportunities in host training camps and developed Games travel packages that include a visit extension that takes in time in the state. There is now a broad school of thought convinced that the costs of staging a major sports event almost invariably exceed the direct and indirect economic benefits. For example, while Glasgow expects the 2014 Commonwealth Games to pump £107 million into the Scottish economy, the event is also projected to cost £288 million to stage. The onus is therefore on events to create more indirect benefits either by contributing to a wider programme of regeneration or kick-starting

the local economy into a cycle of dynamic growth. The difficulty, however, is that while economic impact assessment may be a science, with regard to many sports events it remains an imprecise one. Even among those who measure impact professionally there can be significant disparities in results, depending on what is included in the assessment. While the Deloitte & Touche study of the 2006 Ryder Cup identified benefits of €143 million to the Irish economy, another by Anderson Economic Group and Amárach Consulting considered the gains to total €100 million less. Perhaps one way of reconciling these differences can be found elsewhere within the business of sport. Sponsors of sports events are very familiar with assessing both immediate and long term benefits and have developed the vocabulary of brand equity to talk about value which accrues over long periods. Companies build customer preference for a brand recognising that purchasing decisions happen often over months or even years. Their sponsorships contribute to a potential customer’s understanding of the brand which translates into a positive consideration of its products at the time of purchase.

A city’s equivalent of brand equity is its appeal over the long term to international visitors. Regular tourism during a major sports event can actually decrease making the event difficult to justify in visitor numbers alone. However coverage of the events make it much more likely that tourists will come in the future. Looked at in this way, sports events can be part of a sustainable tourism strategy. In deciding which events to bid for, tourism strategists will need to consider which origin markets are likely to be the source of event spectators and future generations of tourists. Targeting events with large numbers of active participants and extensive media coverage in those markets is the most sure-fire way of turning a one-off event into a legacy of future visitors. Then, whether they are coming to future events, making use of sporting facilities or visiting the sites where records have been set, sports tourism will keep on delivering however we define it.

law

Matthew Glendinning investigates the latest hot-spots in sports law with the help of three experts for around the globe.

Sponsors: Winning at all Costs? By Jason Smith and David Bentham of Brabners Chaffe Street LLP Sponsors are keen to reap the rewards that their association with a triumphant team, exciting event or successful sportsperson brings. Recently, sponsors have been faced with less glorious sporting moments - racing drivers who crash deliberately and rugby players who fake blood injuries. These two well-documented examples highlight the unwelcome situations sponsors have found themselves in. The FIA ruled that Nelson Piquet Junior deliberately crashed his (sponsor logo emblazoned) car at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix; while a Harlequins player was found to have crushed a blood capsule in his mouth so that a specialist kicker

could replace him as a blood substitute. Both Renault’s boss Flavio Briatore, Harlequins’ director of rugby Dean Richards and the teams paid a price – but what have these incidents cost the sponsors involved (ING summarily pulled its Renault sponsorship) and ultimately, what damage has been done to sponsorship relationships in sport generally? One indicator is the statement from Renault sponsor, Mutua Madrilena (which is also ending its deal with Renault) saying “the behaviour of relevant people in the team was of extraordinary seriousness and it compromised not only the integrity of the sport but also put in danger the lives of spectators, drivers and circuit personnel which is something that can affect the image, reputation and good name of the team’s sponsors”.

law These incidents could signal the limit of sponsors’ pain thresholds and highlight the fine line between cheating (which will be frowned upon) and gamesmanship (which may be celebrated). A theatrical dive in the box may be cheating in a Sunday league match, but opinions may differ if it is in the last minute of a hitherto goalless World Cup Final. Further, the incidents discussed above suggest there are practices and behaviour that sponsors will not (or cannot) tolerate. Whilst termination clauses in sponsorship agreements are common only where there has been a ‘material breach’ of the agreement, many will include obligations on rights holders obliging them not to do anything which might damage the sponsor’s reputation. These so-called ‘morality clauses’ are likely to become more sophisticated because of recent events, for example, providing remedies of termination and/or financial recompense. Conversely, rights holders will seek to limit the scope of such clauses and they may seek to be more precise in defining terms such as “damage to reputation”. Rights holders will want these terms to be as narrow and specific as possible particularly to protect themselves against sponsors using broadly drafted ‘morality clauses’ as a means of walking away from an agreement for economic or other reasons. A ‘win at all costs’ mentality may be prevalent among some sportspeople but this may not align itself to the goals of a sponsor. Sponsors want to be associated with personalities, events and teams who/which reinforce values of fair play, honour and sportsmanship. In ‘winning at all costs’, rights holders may risk losing their sponsors. Combating Sports Broadcast Online Piracy By David Becker, Sports Lawyer, Halebury Law (and legal advisor to the International Cricket Council) Shockwaves are still rippling through the sports industry after Setanta’s summer collapse. With no TV Broadcasting deal in place, the only way to watch the England v Ukraine World Cup qualifier on October 10th in the UK was online or at selected cinemas. This landmark online deal set a precedent as the first international England match broadcast exclusively live online. Philipp Grothe, CEO of Kentaro, the agency that bought the rights, sees the UK’s 20 million regular internet sport viewers as evidence that the “mainstream adoption of broadband and growing

popularity of online viewing is a realistic alternative to old-fashioned TV broadcasting.” However, a shift to online broadcast exacerbates the challenges faced by those attempting to control and protect exclusive footage from illegal distribution. Christopher Stokes, CEO of NetResult, an online copyright protection agency, estimates that more than one million people watch illegal webcasts of English Premier League matches via P2P sites. The move to advertising-based models on the part of infringers means that increasing numbers of people will view illegal streams of premium footage at no cost. In turn, this is fuelling a demand for illegal streams. During the recent ICC World Twenty20, for example, approximately 2,500 illegal streams and 4,000 individual unauthorised videos were identified during the event. Some of the leading streaming service providers of sports content are Ustream, Justin.tv, Freedocast and Mogulus. Broadcasters who have paid vast sums of money for exclusive broadcasting rights are putting pressure on rights holders to protect their. However, the reality is that rights holders, regulators, broadcasters and athletes all have an interest in protecting the exclusivity of broadcasting rights, since it is this exclusivity which generates the premium value and in turn helps to fund the sport from the grassroots up. Deloitte’s 2008 report, commissioned by BSkyB, reinforces the positive impact that broadcasting has on the sports industry, including not only the direct revenues generated, but the attraction of funding sources beyond that and the increased coverage. Through the Sports Rights Owners Coalition (SROC), a large number of sports governing bodies have taken combined action against repeat infringers. Their consistent threat of legal action has successfully resulted in take-down agreements or content service agreements with some leading providers. Those sports that are actively engaged in this process are able quickly to block many of the illegal streams. During the ICC World Twenty20, for example, the ICC was able to prevent approximately 90% of illegal broadcasts. However, such an approach inevitably requires the appointment of specialist online monitoring agencies (such as NetResult or Copyright Integrity International) and occasional litigation, at a significant cost to the rights holder. SROC is also lobbying various governments to introduce legislation to combat online piracy. The inevitable challenge for legislators is to come up

with a solution protecting content which is not only enforceable but keeps pace with the changing technological landscape. Advantage Agassi Against Cybersquatters By Robert E. Freeman, Partner, Proskauer Rose LLP (New York) For decades, Andre Agassi dominated the tennis court with his intense play and devastating service return. Agassi’s accomplishments on the court included eight Grand Slam titles (including a victory in each of the U.S. Open, Australian Open, Wimbledon and French Open), an Olympic gold medal and over $31 million in career winnings. Off the court, Agassi was perhaps even more widely known from his numerous product endorsement and television deals (who could ever forget his “Image is Everything” campaign on behalf of Canon). Today, the name “Andre Agassi” is well-known throughout much of the world and, like many well-known athletes and entertainers, Agassi and his licensing company – Agassi Enterprises Inc. (AEI) – appear vigilant in policing any unauthorized uses. Most recently, Agassi served up an ace against three domain names that incorporated his name without authorisation. On May 20, 2009, the U.S. District Court in Nevada granted AEI a preliminary injunction against andreagassi.com, barring andreagassi.com, andreagassi.net, and andreagassi.info from continuing to use Agassi’s name in their URLs. In the action against the three domain names, AEI alleged that each was registered with the intent to profit from Andre Agassi’s trademarked name, in violation of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (“ACPA”). To establish the value of the Agassi name, in its complaint, AEI detailed his various accomplishments and characterised him as “one of the greatest professional tennis players of all time”. They alleged that the value of Agassi’s name increased through numerous endorsement deals and television appearances which continued even after his retirement in 2006. AEI alleged that the domain names exemplified bad faith intent as there had not been any use of the domain names in connection with the bona fide offering of any goods or services. Indeed, the sites were not even “live” and the people who registered the domain names could not be contacted. According to the complaint, AEI “has suffered and will continue to suffer, monetary loss

Flavio Briatore - Getty Images

and irreparable injury to its business, reputation and goodwill.” AEI’s first volley impressed the Nevada court, which returned a grant of a preliminary injunction against the defendant domain names. The Nevada court’s decision continues the now well-established trend towards protecting professional athletes from the threat of cybersquatters. This trend has not been limited to athletes; indeed, decisions finding that athletes may have common law trademark rights in their names are a subset of the cases that have found various celebrities, such as Julia Roberts, as well as businesses may have such rights. In the Agassi case, the domain names were all immediately transferred to AEI pending a full trial on the merits. However, given the court’s holding, including the claim that AEI is “likely to succeed on the merits of its claims,” Andre Agassi once again appears on the verge of winning another match point against an opponent.

FoUnDeD In SePteMBer 2003, Kentaro has developed into a global organisation, with headquarters in Switzerland and further offices in London, Hamburg, Stockholm, Chicago and Rio de Janeiro. “Flat hierarchies, rapid decisionmaking and the willingness to go the extra mile have given our highly-motivated team the edge in a very dynamic environment,” said joint CEO Philipp Grothe, who founded the company together with Philippe Huber.

Under one roof, Kentaro combines unrivalled expertise in five business areas - the Distribution of International TV Rights, Event Management, Sponsorship Sales, Player Management and Consulting Support. “We are very keen to be known as the ‘House of Football’ to our clients all over the world,” Grothe added. “We excel in satisfying all football needs as quickly and transparently as possible.” The ‘House of Football’ is exemplified by the creation of the Brazil World Tour, a prime example of how different business areas can be united. Kentaro has been organising all of the Seleçao´s friendly matches since 2006, pitting the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho and Co. against top opposition in the biggest stadia around the globe. In February, Kentaro set up Brazil´s clash with Italy at the Emirates Stadium which attracted a sell-out crowd of 60,000 fans. Kentaro was responsible for the match and stadium organisation, ticketing and sponsorship as well as the production and distribution of the worldwide TV feed, which reached well over 100 countries. “An integral component of the ‘House of Football’ is the global distribution of TV and related media

rights on behalf of football federations, clubs or even entire leagues,” said Grothe. “In Sweden, for instance, we market the domestic rights of the league as well as the federation, and we have more than doubled the rights income from tailor-made marketing solutions. “Internationally, Kentaro has been marketing over 150 qualiﬁers and 100 friendly matches in the buildup to next summer´s FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Kentaro is also the English FA’s leading international partner, distributing their second-party TV and FA Cup rights as well as rights to national team matches in the Middle East, Scandinavia and the majority of Europe.” Kentaro’s innovative full-service mentality has reached club football too, as evidenced by the organisation of the Emirates Cup, one of the leading global pre-season tournaments. Kentaro is responsible for the TV rights distribution, event management and sponsorship sales whilst at

the same time negotiating for the participation of the clubs. Kentaro´s summer 2009 portfolio also boasted further high-profile tournaments such as the World Football Challenge in the USA, the Audi Cup in Munich´s Allianz Arena and Liverpool´s preseason matches in Asia. The “House of Football” is completed by Kentaro´s highly-respected player management division. Already a major player in Scandinavia via its subsidiary Northern Sky, Kentaro further enhanced its activity in this field in February with the acquisition of the Sports Entertainment and Media Group. SEM is one of Europe´s most trusted player agencies, with world-class athletes including Rio Ferdinand, Jon Obi Mikel and Thierry Henry all enjoying the representation of their team of experts. In July, Kentaro expanded into South America with the launch of an office in Brazil. “There is an incredible amount of talent in South American football,” said Philippe Huber, Kentaro´s other

joint-CEO. “Our men on the ground there have unrivalled knowledge of the local football markets. Their expertise coupled with Kentaro´s proven international network of contacts will complement each other nicely.” Furthermore, Kentaro’s success extends to the boxing world where it markets the international television and sponsorship rights of Europe´s leading boxing stable, Sauerland Event. The Germany-based promoters manage the likes of WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev, King Arthur Abraham, WBA Super-Middleweight Champion Mikkel Kessler, WBO Cruiserweight Champion Marco Huck, IBF Middleweight Champion Sebastian Sylvester and IBF World Title Contender Alexander Povetkin, amongst many other stars. Kentaro also markets the international TV rights for SHOWTIME Sports’ Super Six World Boxing Classic, an 18-month round-robin tournament to determine the world´s best supermiddleweight boxer.

RecRuitinG in a ReceSSion Concerned about employing new staff during the economic slump? One employer reveals how they are reaping the rewards of a targeted recruitment process. at a time WHen Europe, Asia, Australia and the US are struggling with recession, recruitment may not be at the forefront for many industries as purse strings are tightened and spending needs to be justified. The retail, finance, banking and property industries are already suffering, but should the sports sector follow suit in reducing spend on recruitment when there is limited evidence that it has been any more than dented by the downturn? The recession will inevitably have some impact on those intending to host international events, although the ambition for countries and cities across the world to host the most successful events and attain sustainable sports development is relentless. The sports industry demands excellence both in terms of performance on the track as well as in the board room. In the UK the National Governing Body for Archery, ArcheryGB, have taken a positive approach to recruiting a National Development Manager in the current climate by working with Sport Structures Recruitment, a specialist international recruitment company that operates exclusively in the Sports and Sports Events sectors. Since the recession hit, organisations seeking to recruit now have greater expectations and are setting higher standards for candidates to reach in a bid to ensure that those making an application meet the desired criteria. But in reality this can lead to candidates exaggerating their skills and qualifications in an attempt to make it through the initial selection process. This can result in recruiters sifting through a number of applications to find only a few, if any, suitable candidates for the role. This issue was resolved for ArcheryGB by the commissioning of Sport Structures Recruitment to manage the whole recruitment process alleviating the pressure on current staff of recruiting for such an important role. ‘Working with Sport Structures Recruitment has made the employment of an experienced National Development Manager a smooth and most cost effective process’ Lynne Evans

It is their speciﬁc

as no one individual will have the array of skills and competencies required to coordinate a sport from participation to elite, or manage a global event.

Sport Structures Recruitment aims to be instrumental in assisting world-class sports organisations reach new heights both during the recession and beyond. Take a lead from National Governing Bodies in the UK that see recruitment within the sports industry during the recession as an opportunity to take a determined approach to successfully recruit the right team in the most convenient and cost effective way that will make the biggest difference to an organisations future. understanding of international sports organisations, the nature of sporting events and the crucial role that recruitment has in providing the structure for success that enables Sport Structures Recruitment to provide an integrated recruitment solution. Reaching the network of sports professionals that have experience operating within major sports organisation, sporting event and active leisure programmes can cause problems for recruiters across the world.

Since it was announced on 6th July 2005 that London would host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, Sheffield has sprung into action to put preparations in place to take advantage of what is the world’s biggest sporting event. Sheffield has been synonymous with sport for years, boasting the oldest football club in the world, Sheffield FC and host to one of the largest multi sport events ever to take place in the UK, the World Student Games. The city is also home to the elite performance squads for four GB Olympic sports. Central to Sheffield’s Major Sports Events and 2012 Programme is Gary Clifton from Sheffield City Council, who is at the forefront of managing and developing the line-up of major events in the city. Gary said, “Sheffield has always been at the forefront of sporting success and that’s where we want to stay. London 2012 has provided a huge range of opportunities and we have been quick to take advantage and capitalise on what is the biggest

130

sporting event in the world.” “One of the major benefit’s Sheffield has in terms of its portfolio of facilities is the cluster of services around the lower Don Valley area, and it’s ease of access to the integrated transport systems and accommodation within Sheffield. Competitors and spectators travelling to events, can travel from the comfort of Sheffield City Centre to the sports facilities at Don Valley in less than 10 minutes by the ‘Supertram’ Sheffield’s urban light rail network. Accommodation within the city is also very competitively priced, which makes economic sense for promoters.” Sheffield has a vast range of sporting facilities to boast about, including the UK’s largest athletic stadium, Don Valley, and what’s widely regarded as the best 50m competition pool in Great Britain at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, the host of FINA Diving competition for the past 3 years. Sheffield and its role in London 2012... In the run up to the 2012 Games it’s essential that

Olympic and Paralympic sports have the opportunity to train and develop to the highest level. Hosts of international competitions in the UK, must develop technical officials, competition managers and work with a whole army of dedicated volunteers to ensure an event runs smoothly. Sheffield has proudly hosted many international competitions and this experience has allowed them to offer athletes a feel of what “home country” advantage feels like and ultimately raising their performance. Gary told us: “Thanks to Sheffield’s history of hosting major events, the city has, more recently, been working with UK Sport, Welcome to Yorkshire and the Regional Development Agency, Yorkshire Forward, to bid for several events between now and 2012. We’ve been successful in securing the FINA Diving World Series for three consecutive years, the English Open Table Tennis in 2009, the World Goalball Championships in 2010 and European Fencing Championships in 2011.” Sheffield will be host city for teams and international training camps that wish to base themselves outside of London... The Sheffield region has much more to offer International teams than just high quality facilities. Training camps are extremely important and involve so much more than a country simply turning up and using a facility. Gary explained “The teams receive a high quality service from the moment we make contact, and we ensure that everything is provided for them from the moment they land in the UK – including transport, accommodation, catering, medical support and translation services. We also think it’s important that teams connect with our local culture and organise visits within the local community and schools.” In a recent site visit to Sheffield, Mr Gustavo Satio Harada from the Brazilian Olympic Committees technical department commented: “Sheffield is not only a beautiful city with a great youth and full of life environment, but also has state of the art sport facilities, with which the Brazilian

athletes would have all their needs for their 2012 preparation fulfilled. “We still have some planning to do, but in this last visit to the city, the Brazilian Olympic Committee is certain that our athletes would be very much welcomed, matching our culture, joy and happiness with the great hospitality of Sheffield, focusing on the best result on 2012 Olympics.” Delivery is key... how does Sheffield handle events of this scale? “The most important thing about Major Sports Events and the 2012 Programme in Sheffield, is the team we’ve got in place to deliver these services. We’ve got the backing of all four local authorities in the Sheffield City region, meaning we can offer over twenty one Olympic and seven Paralympic training facilities as accredited in the official LOCOG guide. The Universities here in Sheffield offer sports science and research and development services amongst the best in the UK. Sheffield International Venues operates one of the largest facility portfolio of a single provider in the UK, and Yorkshire South Tourism have ensured the Sheffield City region has become an award winner for services to business tourism. All together “Team Sheffield” has the expertise and resources to deliver exactly what the international teams require.” For further information about using Sheffield as a venue for a major sporting event or international training camp, please contact: Mr. Gary Clifton Major Sports Events and 2012 Programme Manager Sheffield City Council 2-10 Carbrook Hall Road Sheffield S9 2DB T: +44 (0) 114 273 6681 E: gary.clifton@sheffield.gov.uk www.sheffield-lightingtheflame.com

EVENTS

BIRMINGHAM IS WELL KNOWN as a city of sport and this is a title which has been appropriate for more than 150 years given the city’s proud sporting heritage. Birmingham was the birthplace of lawn tennis in 1858, the world’s oldest football league was started in the city in 1888 and Birmingham’s world famous Edgbaston Cricket Ground has been staging matches since 1902. This strong sporting history also extends to the West Midlands region which is steeped in the history of the modern Olympic Games and organised sport. The Olympic festival staged annually in Much Wenlock in Shropshire is acknowledged to have been among the inspirations for Baron Pierre de Coubertin’s vision for the resurrecting the Games in 1896. Birmingham has staged more World and European sporting championships than any other UK city and has an excellent global reputation for staging high quality events. In the last 12 months the events Birmingham have hosted a series of major events including the Yonex All England Badminton Open Championships, the British Basketball League Finals Weekend, the British Open Show Jumping Championships, the Aviva National Championships and Olympic Trials for athletics and the GB Judo World Cup. In October 2008 the city also staged the ﬁrst ever EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon, which attracted nearly 9,000 entries. Other recent successes include the European Athletics Indoor Championships which was staged at Birmingham’s prestigious National Indoor Arena. The event was described by European Athletics’ president as the’ best ever’ and the staging of this event followed on from the city’s hosting of the 8th FIG Trampoline and Tumbling World Cup Final which was also very highly praised. In recent year’s Birmingham has also staged

134

the World Indoor Athletics Championships, the World Badminton Championships, the World Junior Wheelchair Basketball Championships and the World Cup Final in Artistic Gymnastics. Following the success of events like these Birmingham has already been selected to host four international championships in Olympic and Paralympic sports ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. First up will be the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in 2009 which see the world’s best runners take to the street of Birmingham city centre. This will be followed by two international events in 2010, the UEG European Artistic Gymnastics Championships in the Spring and then in July 2010 Birmingham will host the IWBF’s World Wheelchair Basketball Championships. Also secured for 2011 is the World Championships in Trampoline, Tumbling and Double-Mini Trampoline. Through the staging of major sports events in recent years Birmingham has been able to develop a team of experts that knows how to cater for the needs of the world’s best athletes. This team not only has the experience and knowledge to ensure that every sports event staged in Birmingham is a success but also has the dedication to continue to raise the bar with every event. As well as bidding to stage more major sports events in the next few years, Birmingham City Council has plans to improve the city’s already excellent sports facilities. In September 2008 the city’s Gymnastics and Martial Arts Centre was unveiled and this brand new facility has been built to Olympic speciﬁcations. The facility, which has cost nearly £7.5 million to build, has been funded by Birmingham City Council. It is the only facility of its kind in the country and incorporates a fully equipped gymnastics hall, with a ﬂoor space for artistic and rhythmic gymnastics. The hall also has 400 seats for spectators which

can be retracted to create an area for trampolines. There are also three martial arts rooms providing a dojo and two further ﬂexible martial arts combat areas. The GMAC centre is located on the same site as the Birmingham Alexander Stadium and the Birmingham High Performance Centre, creating a sporting hub and a hat trick of excellent sports facilities all in one area of the city. Birmingham is also planning to host training camps for international teams ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games and seven of the city’s facilities have been included in the ofﬁcial Pre-Games Training Camp Guide for 2012.

With great facilities, experience in looking after world class athletes and excellent transport links to London, Birmingham looks set to be a popular destination for training camps and in fact the US Track and Field team has already announced their intention to base themselves in Birmingham ahead of 2012 and more teams are expected to follow suit.

EVENTS

“Manchester was delighted to receive the SportBusiness Sports City Award last year after successfully hosting the Manchester World Sport 08 events. The City continues to build on its sports partnerships and is strengthening its sporting infrastructure, which will cement Manchester’s position as a leading, global sports destination.” Sir Richard Leese, Leader of Manchester City Council

Following 2008’s hugely successful World Sport campaign which attracted £23m worth of economic impact to the city, Manchester City Council and their partners have adopted a more innovative approach to the hosting of major sports events. This strategy has paid off in 2009 already with the city playing host to a wide range of events showcasing the strong array of world-class facilities Manchester boasts as a legacy of the successful XVII Commonwealth Games in 2002. THE CITY CENTRE was struck by ‘lightning’ when it provided an atmospheric back-drop to the recordbreaking exploits of triple Olympic gold medallist, Usain Bolt at the BUPA Great City Games in May. As well as attracting global stars in the form of Usain Bolt and Haile Gebrselassie, the event also attracted a record entry in the Bupa Great Manchester Run. Sooner after the World’s fastest man had departed, the BT Paralympic World Cup celebrated its fifth year as the biggest multi-sport disability competition outside the Paralympic Games. In August, the streets became the sporting stage once again for the city’s own residents during the first of a series of national Skyride events which saw 15,000 people take part in an event designed to raise cycling participation. Such events epitomise Manchester’s reputation for creativity and innovation, exemplified in 2008 by the staging of the FINA World Swimming Championships in the world’s busiest entertainment venue, the Manchester Evening News Arena. Equally, this approach reinforces the commitment the city has to maximising the benefits for its residents, businesses and visitors through the staging of world class sports events. In October, the MEN Arena was the stage for a brand new event – the Co-operative World Netball Series, which brought the World’s top 6 Netball Nations together to battle it out under new faster, more dynamic rules. Spectators were treated to Netball as never seen before which could herald an exciting new era for the sport. As a climax to another action-packed year of sport, Manchester hosted a Festival of Cycling with back-to-back cycling events in the shape of the National Track Championships, UCI Track World Cup Classic and UCI Para-Cycling World Championships. Further ambitions – The Future for Manchester The state of the art Manchester Aquatics Centre recently played host to Swimming Australia’s

preparations for the FINA World Championships in Rome, the first pre-2012 training camp to take place in the UK and the starting point in a partnership that will see the Australians return to the city in 2012 and 2014. Building on the city’s reputation as the ‘Home of British Cycling’ Manchester will soon see work commence on a new indoor BMX arena, the first of its kind anywhere in the world. In tandem with the adjacent velodrome, the National BMX Centre will serve as both a training facility and events venue for Britain’s elite cyclists as well as providing community access for the city’s schools and residents. In 2010 Manchester is hosting major events such as the European Individual Badminton Championships in April and the FIL World Lacrosse Championships in July. In February the National Squash Championships and English National Badminton Championships will once again take place at Sportcity, whilst the BUPA Great Manchester Run and BT Paralympic World Cup will return in May. In addition, Britain’s ‘Decade of Sport’ offers a unique opportunity for the nation to be inspired by sport and Manchester will be at its heart. The city will host Olympic football and World Cup rugby and is supporting England’s 2018 FIFA World Cup bid. You can find out more about all of these events and more action to come in 2010 at www.manchesterworldsport.com

PIONEERING THE MANAGEMENT OF SPORTS DATA Sportstat has developed into a world leading provider of information systems for the sporting industries. With a company policy geared towards continual research, development, training and staff empowerment, Sportstat is well placed to adapt quickly to customer requirements. Our client base includes many top International Broadcasters, Teams, Governing Bodies and Media companies who value an efficient, flexible and reliable approach to service provision. The past few years have seen huge developments in the way sports information is accessed, particularly as mobile technology has developed. A complete switch-over to digital television within the next decade stands to place further demand on broadcasters for accurate, interactive information to accompany their output. It is our preparation for such demand that has placed Sportstat as a key provider of international sports statistics. Accurate information is essential for Team Managers, Journalists, Commentators, researchers and a whole host of individuals working within the industry. With this in mind, Sportstat provides a range of Event and Match Media Guides, tailor made for each client. These manuals can be developed as specific as possible and become something of a bible for all concerned. Available in hard copy and CD format, no serious broadcaster can afford to be without one. Our latest development is the ‘statRUGBY Information System’ covering all major Rugby Union & League competitions. After several years development by our in-house team of Microsoft© Certified Professionals, the result is a powerful,

easy to use, core database containing the 1st class records for over 45,000 players and 25,000 matches. Events covered include: Guinness Premiership zz zz Heineken Cup zz Magners League zz EDF Energy Cup zz Super 14 zz Top 14 zz Super 10 zz Air New Zealand Cup zz European Challenge Cup zz RFU National 1 zz Principality Building Society Premiership zz Super League zz Telstra Premiership For these competitions we now provide instant access to real time statistics, direct to users wherever they maybe and working on any available platform. By delivering on what we promise and exceeding expectations, Sportstat has built a happy working relationship with many of its clients, all achieved through a policy of honesty, friendship and trust. As such, many clients come to us not just for our information systems, but to harness our development and design skills in maximising the success of their own information systems.

TV Sports Markets are delighted to bring you Euro TV & Sports Rights 2010. This report will cover all the benchmark data from the last 12 months. Anyone involved in the industry should have a copy of this invaluable report. European TV and Sports Rights 2010 is the most comprehensive report available on television sports-rights deals in Europe’s biggest markets. Since the first edition was published in 2005, many of sport’s leading rights holders, broadcasters and agencies have relied on data published in its pages to help shape their business decisions. This information is must-have market intelligence that will influence business strategy and decision making. Given the confidentiality surrounding many sports-rights deals, some of the hard-to-get facts are not found in the public domain. However, thanks to over a decade of research into the sector and with the best contacts in the business, this report from TV Sports Markets boasts the most reliable – and in many cases exclusive – information on the major deals. And for the third edition, TV Sports Markets is delighted to announce a new partnership with Eurodata TV Worldwide, the leading provider of audience information.

Richard Lee Since the launch of fx4sport, sportsmen and women have become more aware of the foreign exchange savings they have made compared to their bank. Although everyone imagines all footballers to be multi millionaires who don’t value the huge sums of money they earn, the truth is, not every player makes it to the top, signing big contracts. Careers are short and can be cut even shorter by injuries or expired contracts. Both players and managers want to be careful with their money and make the most of it when moving large sums and making investments. We have found many individuals and clubs involved in the game are moving funds abroad, whether it is transfer or agent fees, foreign players sending funds to their home country or making overseas investments in properties or businesses. Our clients are pleasantly surprised by how much easier the process is and the service they receive compared to their bank. Our competitive exchange rates often save clients thousands of pounds on their currency transactions. One footballer who continues to use the services of fx4sport is Watford keeper Richard Lee. We caught up with Richard and asked him why he decided to use fx4sport and his experience so far... Hi Richard, apart from your obvious talents on the football field, we’ve seen over the years you have shown a keen eye for making money away from the sport, in particular your appearance on the popular TV show Dragons Den where you convinced one of the dragons to invest in your Dr Caps business. How did you come across fx4sport? RL: I mentioned to a friend I was investing in the market in Dubai, but wasn’t too impressed by the poor exchange rates I was being offered by the bank. He recommended I contact fx4sport, who specialise

180

M in Foreign Exchange for sportsmen and women. What were your first impressions of fx4sport? RL: I was very impressed, not just by the superior exchange rates they offered compared to my bank, but also the level of service. After speaking to my account manager I understood so much more. He took time to listen to my specific requirements before explaining the various options I had moving forward. I felt I was being given more competitive options compared to what my bank could offer and that they were being tailored to my needs. How quickly were you able to get moving ahead? RL: One of the most impressive things I found with fx4sport was the whole speed of the process. After my first call I was directed to the web site where it took me a few moments to set up an account. The account was confirmed as active shortly afterwards and I was ready to trade. I had a number of stage payments to make, the first immediately, the rest over the following 18 months. My account manager explained how I could fix a rate on a forward contract but not have to pay for the currency until each payment date. For the first time I had a fixed price for the cost of my investment in sterling not just in dirhams. Due to the weak pound the price had already been driven up by over 2% since I agreed the deal in Dubai, so it was important to a fix a rate and secure a price in £’s rather than take the risk of the price exceeding my planned budget. So would you say you made a significant saving by using fx4sport? RL: Without a doubt. I saved well over £1,500 on the exchange rate, compared to my bank while receiving an efficient and expert service. I have no doubt I will call upon fx4sports services again when needed and will recommend it to the lads at Watford if they need to move money abroad. Ok Richard thanks for the chat, good luck for the rest of the season

Technology powering the University Games Over the past decade the Australian University Games has attracted a staggering 96,000 competitors, with the 2009 event alone approaching 8,000 participants. To make it all possible the organising committee, Australian University Sport (AUS), relies heavily on centralised games management technology from London and Sydney based company Interfuse. Known for its high standard of competition and inclusive approach, the University Games has grown quickly to become Australasia’s largest annual multi-sport event. But with size and success comes the burden of increased workload. Limited resources meant Games staff and volunteers had to work around the clock to calculate results and complete on-site administration. “We saw so many areas where our software could make a difference to streamline Games administration”, Interfuse Director Chris Clark remembers. “The staff and volunteers were doing an amazing job, however the potential was for so much more, given the right tools.” So, in the summer of 2005, AUS and Interfuse embarked on an ambitious project – to implement a single, centralised web based system capable of managing all Games processes. It began by applying a methodology refined by Interfuse when implementing systems for clients all over the world. The methodology requires that all stakeholders are considered – games volunteers, sport managers, media officers, financial controllers, sponsors (the list goes on) – to uncover the information flows, bottlenecks and opportunities. Software and business processes are then

aligned, which is only possible through unusually flexible configuration features available across the range of Interfuse sport administration modules. The result is a system that manages registration, accreditation, website content management, media liaison, sport management, financial transactions, merchandise, ticketing and transport – a truly complete Games management solution. AUS has gone on to use the Games management system for all events it operates, including the Northern, Eastern and Southern University Games, which run simultaneously in cities separated by thousands of miles. “Without the (Interfuse) system, we would need a great many more staff or volunteers to delivery the same high level of service, which just isn’t an option for AUS.” said Tony Jermyn, AUS General Manager. Interfuse software has been used by over 4,700 organisations worldwide and is proven to work with over 60 types of sports, from athletics to rugby, kendo to softball. Interfuse systems are used to manage large scale world championship and multi-sport events as well as the needs of National, Regional and local sport administration. Interfuse’s consultative approach means solutions can be tailored to the diverse and specific needs of each sport or event.

If you would like to contact Interfuse to discuss any opportunities that may exist within your event or sport please contact our offices in Sydney (Asia enquiries) on sydney@ interfuse.net or London (All other regions) on london@interfuse.net.

The fÉdÉraTion equesTre inTernaTionale (fei) The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) is the international governing body for equestrian sport recognised by the IOC and is comprised of 133 member National Federations. Equestrian sport has been on the Olympic programme since 1912. It is one of the very few sports in which men and women compete on equal terms. It is the only sport which involves an animal. The FEI has relentlessly concerned itself with the welfare of the horse, which is paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial inﬂuences.

Spotlight on the Future The history of equestrian sports is an illustrious one and can be traced back to the Ancient Olympic Games where horsemanship was a celebrated and revered skill. Founded in 1921 to govern and develop equestrian sport, the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) has forged a prominent culture in the international sports arena, be it in terms of grass roots development or high profile Olympic tradition. HRH Princess Haya elected the 13th FEI President in 2006 on the basis of a comprehensive and far reaching manifesto, has been driving many reforms at the heart of the FEI and horsesport. Nowadays, the spectrum of disciplines has grown to include not just the three Olympic disciplines of Dressage, Jumping and Eventing, but also, and in equal prominence, Driving, Endurance, Vaulting and Reining. This spectrum was further enhanced in 2006 when a landmark move saw Para-Equestrian – equestrian for riders with physical disabilities – join the ranks of the other disciplines, making the FEI one of the first international sports federations to manage the sport for both able-bodied and disabled athletes. “Joining the FEI has not only transformed the image, understanding and profile of Para-Equestrian athletes from a sports perspective, but has also, in its own way, helped change the public’s perception of disabilities.” Lee Pearson, Chair of the FEI Athletes

Committee and acclaimed Paralympic gold medallist. This year was an historic one as the equestrian world’s oldest and most prestigious series of team competitions – the FEI Nations Cup – celebrated its centenary. And while the FEI cherishes tradition, 2009 is also marked by the launch of FEI TV and of the first ever FEI Year of Youth campaign, a yearlong celebration of youth in equestrianism which will run from August 2009 to August 2010 in the lead up to the Youth Olympic Games. “Our goal for the Year of Youth is to ensure we hear the opinions of the competitors, grooms, fans, volunteers and support teams of all those aged 12 and 21 involved in equestrian sport in order to help us best shape and drive the sport in the future,” FEI Executive Sports Director David Holmes commented. “It is a tremendous opportunity and we are really looking forward to hearing from a great diversity of perspectives.” To achieve this goal and engage with young people across all disciplines worldwide in an innovative, interactive and fun manner, the FEI has deliberately sought out the latest media most popular with this audience. The Year of Youth activities are largely taking place online through a dedicated website, www.feiyearofyouth.org, a central hub for young equestrians to share, learn and grow together. This site, combined with other social media channels

and various offline activities, will undoubtedly make this the most unique and inspiring social media campaign in equestrianism to date. The next generation of athletes and today’s existing fan base will have a lot to take in over the course of 2010 with an impressive list of key events throughout the world – among these, the prestigious Rolex FEI World Cup™ Jumping and Driving Final to be held in Geneva in April, the first ever Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, and the HSBC FEI World Cup™ Eventing Final in Pau, France to name but a few. But there is one event that will capture the imagination of all and that is the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, sixteen gruelling days where the world’s best battle it out for World titles in eight FEI disciplines and where equestrian fans and new enthusiasts can get a glimpse or even a resounding feel for the diversity and far reaching appeal of equestrian sports. Launched in 1990 and held every four years, the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2010 will be the sixth edition of its kind, but the first to be held outside of Europe, and the first to host 8 FEI disciplines, including one of the most recent additions to the FEI family - Para-Equestrian Dressage. All these world Championships will be contested in the one location, another first for Games history, at the 1200 acre Kentucky Horse Park, and

to make matters even more outstanding, the stadium was built and ready to go 390 days prior to opening the gates. As one of the only few sports where men and women compete on equal terms and also the only sport to include two athletes – horse and rider, the FEI is determined to uphold the integrity, values and rules of the sport within this global, multi-faceted and ever-evolving society. At all times, the welfare and position of the horse is pivotal to making this happen – www.feicleansport.org.

Overview The Co-operative Sports and Events - working with the top teams to provide a first class, professional service. Our services include team logistics, accommodation requirements, flights and transportation, VIP arrangements and events. Information In sports the pressure is always on. Performing to your maximum and getting the best out of your team mates is what it’s all about to become a winner. At The Co-operative Travel Sports and Events we are no different. We may not be on the field playing but we have the same dedication, commitment and desire to perform to our best to make sure that the teams we support, such as Manchester United, can rely on us. Our job is all about the detail. Making sure the logistics arrangements are thought through and will

232

not affect the team’s performance. We look after the flights – specifying nutritional and hydration requirements, the hotels – making sure the players get the rooms and facilities they need (and even the same room if they are superstitious), the ground arrangements – coaches, cars and security. Nothing is left to chance and we have many years of experience of arranging the logistics for some of the top teams in the world. Sometimes things do go wrong. Occasionally it is out of your control and this is where you need a professional to resolve the issue. It might be bad weather, delays or - in the worst possible situation terrorist activity - and we have dealt with virtually every situation. This requires experts on the ground as well as a full 24-hour back up in the base operation to ensure that changes and contingencies can be made. This all requires great teamwork with everyone knowing exactly what to do. A big part of the success when undertaking an

event is the co-ordination and planning. Deadlines have to be met and in the event of some European football matches, time can be limited. For example, a final taking place three weeks after a semi final. During this short lead-in time team hotels have to be secured, VIP and club delegatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rooms are required and often commercial partners and press have to be accommodated. Charter aircraft may need to be booked and arrangements for departure and arrival made. Training facilities in the match build up need to be obtained as well as physio, cleaning of kit and nutrition requirements organised. Security needs to be in place at every step of the way for both the team and also those connected to the club. Arrangements for thousands of supporters have to be made. Often at the end of the season there are a number of events to celebrate success and thank those that support the club. These can be Awards nights, sponsorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; evenings or fund raising events, and our experience in logistics lends itself to the

organisation and planning of this type of activity. Our services cover everything from delegate registration to the full production of the event including set, stage, entertainment, key note speakers and video. We will find the best venue for you at the most competitive price, and with our creative theming ensure that your guests have an evening to remember. Although this is our job, it is also our passion. We take it just as seriously as you do and we know you expect high performance from us. By working with us we become part of your team and together we can win!

Dubai Duty Free Launch ‘Double Millionaire’ Promotion Promotion offers ticket holders the chance to win US$2 million Dubai Duty Free has introduced a new addition to its world famous promotions with the launch of ‘Double Millionaire’, which offers 5,000 ticket holders the chance to win US$2 million. Intended as a sister promotion to the long running Millennium Millionaire and Finest Surprise Luxury car draws, the Double Millionaire tickets went on sale on 12th October and are priced at Dhs2,000 (approx US$550). Tickets can be purchased at Dubai Duty Free in Dubai International Airport or online at www.dubaidutyfree.com. Commenting on the new promotion, Colm McLoughlin, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free said, ”We regularly review our promotions to ensure that we continue to appeal to all travelers and to our regular ticket buyers. Last year we introduced the one-off US$5 million Multi-Millionaire promotion to coincide with our 25th anniversary and the opening of Terminal 3. That was very successful and was won by a Dubai based business woman, Ms. Piya Bahirwani. “We think that there will be a demand for the Double Millionaire and that it will be as successful as our ongoing promotions which are world famous and continue to capture attention,” added Mr. McLoughlin. The Finest Surprise luxury car promotion began in December 1989 and to-date has resulted in over 1400 cars being won by travellers from over 68 countries. The Millennium Millionaire, which offers 5,000 ticket holders the chance to win US$1 million, is now celebrating its 10th anniversary during which time it has created 99 dollar millionaires from 24 countries. There have many remarkable stories linked to those who have been lucky enough to win either a luxury car, a Harley Davidson motorbike, or the US$1 million. There have also been several cases of multiple winners and to-date, there have been 15

double winners in the Finest Surprise promotion. There has been one double winner in the Millennium Millionaire promotion when, on October 6th 2009, the ticket of Mr. Khoury, a Dubai based Canadian, was drawn in series 99. Mr. Khoury won his first US$1 million in the same promotion in January 2004. The Double Millionaire promotion will be supported by a widespread marketing campaign, including print and online advertising. The creative, with its strap line ‘Live a New Life’, highlights the different lifestyle that would be possible should you win the US$2 million.

The InTernaTIonal CyClIng UnIon (UCI): “a ToTal CommITmenT To CyClIng” One of the principal international sports federations Based in Switzerland, the UCI is the Olympic international cycling federation. It has 175 member national federations on five continents and represents 1,200 professional cyclists, 600,000 licensed riders and millions of cycle sport riders. Its mission consists of developing and promoting cycling at an international level. It draws up a worldwide calendar of 1200 races and the regulations, organizes the UCI World Championships and UCI World Cups, and passionately works for young athlete development programmes, the fight against doping, the promotion of ecological transport and the protection of the environment. A traditional sport… in full expansion! The eight cycling disciplines – road, track, mountain bike, BMX, para-cycling, cyclo-cross, trials and indoor cycling – bring together communities of enthusiastic professionals and amateurs. Present at the Olympic Games since their reintroduction in 1896 with road and track, cycling continues its development. The integration of recent disciplines – mountain bike in 1996, BMX in 2008 – is a demonstration of this. Wide media coverage of UCI events The UCI World Championships and World Cups receive excellent TV coverage in Europe, the United States and the UCI continuously works on development in new markets including Asia, the Middle East and South America. The 2008 Road World Championships drew 200,000 spectators on site and 300 million TV viewers (400 hours broadcast on 50 channels). As for the Track, Mountain Bike and BMX

World Championships, they drew respectively 160, 25 and 15 million television viewers in 2008 alone. Dynamic platforms for UCI partners UCI events offer interesting opportunities for their partners, allowing them to efficiently reach their targets: young people’s market with Mountain Bike and BMX, traditional markets with road, track or cyclo-cross. The UCI proposes a large range of sponsorship packages including title and presenting sponsorships but also smaller packages to suit different interests. It is the core objective of the UCI marketing team to closely cooperate with partners to help activate their sponsorship investment to its full extent. Numerous partners have already seized this opportunity, notably Shimano, Tissot, Swatch, Santini and Skoda. Website: www.uci.ch

How Best to Weather the Economic Storm Inspired - Aspire

KHP Consulting’s CEO Katja Heim on booming business in the Middle East If there’s one thing that Katja Heim has learnt from all her years of working within Formula One, it’s how to make the best out of a tough situation through clever opportunity spotting. And that’s precisely what she’s done with KHP Consulting, one of the leading sports marketing, event management and sponsorship agencies, via a subtle strategic shift of the London-based agency’s resources towards the Middle and Far East. Whilst the shrinking budgets caused by the economic downturn has seen many Europeanbased agencies suffer, KHP has gone from strength to strength, winning new business with accounts like the Qatar-based ASPIRE Academy for Sports Excellence (international and regional PR and communications management), Casio (F1 sponsorship exploitation and media engagement) and the Malaysian and Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix (community activation programmes, hospitality and management consultancy). Testimony to Heim’s ability to capitalise on an emerging market is the simple fact that whilst other agencies are just beginning to realise the potential for top level sports marketing, media relations and event

326

management that exists within the Middle East, KHP has enjoyed an established presence in the region for almost a decade. KHP’s KHP’s KHP’s Middle Eastern office headquarters are located in the Kingdom of Bahrain, with an excellent network of associates cutting across the UAE. KHP has won major contracts in Abu Dhabi and Qatar and has sites to open branch offices in both countries in the coming year. A long-sighted investment policy combined with the nurturing of local talent has helped it establish its current position as one of the region’s top PR & marketing establishments. The agency’s burgeoning reputation has led to successful forays outside of its sporting heritage – you are now as likely to see a large-scale event opening being managed and publicised by KHP, as you are the facilitation of a world class Grand Prix. Crucial to KHP’s success is an ability to plan ahead strategically whilst moving forward and activating quickly – this comes down to the agency’s continued independence despite tempting offers from some of the world’s largest PR and marketing organisations. So what does the brain behind the business have to say on the matter? Reminiscing over the last

Force in Formula 1 - Heim

Valuable time – Casio F1 sponsorship

Street sense - Yalla Bahrain programme

24 years of her career, Heim says: “My F1 journey began back in 1985 when, as a freelance journalist, I was commissioned by a major men’s magazine to interview Bernie Ecclestone. The interview and subsequent coverage led to further work, initially supporting the PR, communications and ticket sales for the German Grand Prix. I was very successful very quickly, thanks to a lot of hard work, good gut instincts and a great support network. When I look back, I was such a determined force of nature, I was very difficult to say no to, and I think that helped! I started out small, and have built my team up slowly over the years as my client base has grown. The key for me has been to find talented, dedicated and loyal people who share my passion and work ethic. I started out by focussing on more PR and communications related work, as that’s my background, before spotting opportunities to branch out into events, strategic marketing and sponsorship. KHP definitely isn’t the place for one trick ponies or divas, you have to be multi-talented to survive and more than willing to roll your sleeves up and muck in. We have very demanding clients, and quite rightly so, as they have become accustomed to

receiving the best possible service.” Never one to take anything for granted, Heim is clearly very grateful for the support the agency has received: “I think we’ve been very privileged over the year to enjoy fantastic relationships with key powerbrokers in sport, and as such, we have a great reputation for being an agency that can deliver a full 360˚ service. We have an intimate understanding of the complex rules of working in a sport like F1, which means we can offer our clients a very competitive edge, and ultimately help them to maximise their return on investment.” And clients clearly agree – As Martin Whitaker, CEO of Bahrain International Circuit enthuses, “the company has a core role to play in the generation of a range of international and regional corporate entertainment and hospitality initiatives, together with the promotion and organisation of cultural and social events. I would have no hesitation in recommending them” One thing is clear - the hard work, risk taking and strategic vision is paying off and the future looks very rosy for KHP Consulting.
