Sports has the power to unite any community, and in a diverse country like India, it surely does.<\/strong> This is the case, not just with cricket but with several other sports like Football, Tennis, and Badminton, who are gaining popularity with each passing day. Sporting events, matches, players, and fans, are all affected by this world, even if they do not play any sport. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now people can enter and thrive in this world by representing their countries on the field and helping those who do. The sporting world is much more elaborate than just the players. There are several functions undertaken by people who love and understand the game but work behind the scene to organize matches, monitor team finances, negotiate contracts of athletes, etc. These people are Sports Managers, who have the responsibility to manage all aspects of the game, at all levels – from schools to colleges and from local, national to international standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports management offers roles for individuals in diverse areas and functionalities. According to the FICCI- International Institute of Sports Management knowledge report, there will be a sharp increase in the number of job opportunities in the sports sector by 2022. Moreover, India has been identified as the key player in the sports market and set to hold more international championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why should Indian students consider Sports Management as a career?  <\/span><\/p>\n

While India has a long connection with sports contribution at a national and global landscape, there is still a significant shortage of suitably qualified sports management professionals in the country. <\/span><\/p>\n

While Sports Management education around the globe has expanded to reflect the consistent growth within the sports industry, these education platforms are not wholly available around India. This ultimately creates an opportunity for students who are or are due to become suitably qualified sports management specialists to realize career aspirations within the sports industry. Arguably, this also creates an opportunity for higher education institutions to develop Sports Management degree programs that provide a professionalized pathway for Indian nationals into the fastest expanding global industry sector.  <\/span><\/p>\n
