The course included an overview of the basic business principles underlying Sports Management, introducing students to the overall landscape of sports as an industry. Using academic studies and relevant sports business cases from around the world, students were exposed to the functioning of sports business globally and then encouraged to apply learnt principles to tackle and develop local market issues. Special focus was given to the development and issues around the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Pakistan’s first commercial sports league with students benefitting from guest lectures by Najam Sethi (PCB & PSL Chairman), Ali and Amna Naqvi (Owners, Islamabad United), Subhan Ahmad COO, PCB, and other sports industry experts over the four-month long course.

Hopefully this is the first step in developing those much needed resources which can carry our industry forward. That has always been a primary aim of Leonine Global Sports”.
