Next month in SportsPro: The Indian Premier League, 2010 World Cup and South Africa
The March edition of SportsPro will examine the rise of Indian sport, on the eve of the third season of the Indian Premier League and as the build-up to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi begins in earnest. The report will feature the IPL’s chief operating officer Sundar Raman on the return of the competition to its homeland as well as IMG senior vice president Andrew Wildblood, who is in charge of the company’s business in India.
In addition, the March issue will feature a major report on preparations for the 2010 soccer World Cup in South Africa. Featuring an exclusive in-depth interview with Danny Jordaan the head of the 2010 local organising committee, the report will examine what the competition will do for the host nation, South Africa, as well as what South Africa will do for the World Cup. The special issue will also examine the logistics and finances of hosting soccer’s most important event; the effect it will have on both tourism in South Africa and the country’s international standing; the commercial appetite for soccer in South Africa; and the way technological advancements will play their part in how June’s month-long competition will be viewed around the world. Published in early February, the report will be an unrivalled business preview to the biggest sporting event in Africa’s history.
