MESBN has undoubtedly identified a much-needed gap in the region, capturing the aspirations of sports industry professionals. They have found thought-provoking topics that not only bring us together in great spaces but also challenge us to think differently. MESBN has created a healthier network for doing business in the region and as the momentum of sports is at a high, the efforts to further connect industry professionals continues.

Being a part of the Middle East Sports Business Network has been key for growing my professional network and business connections in the region's dynamic sports industry. The network provides invaluable opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals and key stakeholders, gain insights into the latest trends, and cultivate meaningful collaborations. I would consider it a must-join network for anyone serious about the Middle East's sports sector, especially in the UAE.
