Founded in 2010, Sport360 is the leading sports information and news provider in MENA (Middle East & North Africa). Launched as a daily newspaper in the UAE, its impact was backed up by the strong digital platforms that have attracted significant numbers of sports enthusiasts from the region. As a result, www.sport360.com and Arabic.sport360.com are the second most visited websites in the GCC and social media numbers are growing rapidly: 3.5m Facebook fans, 280k Twitter followers and 205k Instagram followers.

 

Thanks to its in-depth sports coverage, stunning photography, professional analysis and compelling reporting by renowned regional and international columnists, the daily newspaper has also shown consistent growth in readership over the five years, reaching today an audience of 580,000 readers (IPSOS, NRS 2015).

 

Sport360 has further launched an events division catering to the consumer and business segments. Some of these events include the Sports Industry Awards (SPIA) to recognise and reward excellence in MENA and Asia, Middle East Golf Awards (MEGAs) to recognise and reward the regions golf achievements, and the National School Leagues (NSL) to support the grassroots communities in the region.

 

 

 

      

 

 

Golf has taken an increasingly important role in putting the region on the world sporting map. The sport enjoys massive and growing popularity and has become an integral part of the global tourism industry. It has become a success story that is hard to match but it would not have been possible nor will it continue to thrive without the expertise of club managers, course designers, course maintenance staff, dedicated club professionals, first class academies, clever marketing, business acumen, catering excellence, players, and a determination to be the very best.

 

Sport360 in association with the region’s golf bodies and sports councils has decided to recognize the amazing achievements that have already been accomplished and to encourage continued success with the MEGAs, the Middle East Golf Awards.

 

A black tie event, the MEGAs set a new standard of golf awards, and, as an annual event, will reflect the ultimate ambitions of everyone involved in golf here in the region.

 

The 2015 edition of the MEGAs was supported by Singha Corporation, Dubai Sports City, Troon Golf, IP Global, and Hydroturf.
