Sports Law in the UAE and Gulf

The sports market has grown rapidly in the Middle East and Africa, and is considered the second largest sports market in the world. The Middle East is considered the prime emerging sports market and continues to grow and offer scope for development.

DIFC Academy in partnership with LexisNexis and Al Tamimi & Co. will be hosting a seminar to dive deeper into the regulations and opportunities in the world of sports in the UAE and the Gulf. During the seminar, we will look at:

» Venue Commercialization or Event Permits & Approvals
» Sports Sponsorship in the Gulf
» Marketing (e.g. anti-ambush marketing strategies)

We will also look at the rapid growth of e-sports globally and in the Gulf as well as its recent classification as a sport, the rules and regulations surrounding this sport and its potential Olympic Games Recognition.
