Qatar showcased $20bn in opportunities in the sports industry at a recent event in New York. The Qatar Financial Center (QFC), Aspire Zone Foundation, and Qatar Development Bank jointly hosted a master-class sponsored by the Sport Accelerator – Qatar Sport Business District, where it discussed the investment opportunities available in the various sectors of Qatar’s sports market.
Sport Accelerator offers a comprehensive ecosystem for businesses looking to access the Qatari sports market by working with its network partners to provide best-in-class services, including business incorporation, a transparent legal and regulatory framework, as well as access to experienced sports business experts.
“Qatar’s sports industry remains multifaceted and offers investors ample opportunities in various sub-sectors ranging from sports marketing to event management and promotion, as well as many others. These diverse opportunities can be fully utilised and accessed through the QFC’s unique onshore business platform,” said Jassim Al Muftah, Director, Marketing and Corporate Communications, QFC.
Laila Al Jefairi, Manager, Business Development, said: “Sports is one of the key focus industries of the QFC as outlined in our strategy, along with other important sectors. Our strategic focus on sports is a result of Qatar’s established track record as a global sports hub, as well as the great potential for even more future growth that the industry is yet to achieve.”
