Sport Managers Day is designed to recognise and acknowledge the significant contribution of professional Sport Managers to the global sports industry. Behind every great event, elite athlete and community sports program is a Sport Manager who works tirelessly to get the job done.  Many Sport Managers are extremely dedicated to their careers and this day will provide an opportunity to thank them for their efforts.

The sport industry relies heavily on the skills, dedication and contribution of Sport Managers as they work hand-in-hand with volunteers, players, coaches andother stakeholders developing and guiding the business of sport.

Sport occupies a central position in many people’s lives throughout the globe and plays a significant part in the health and enjoyment for millions of people who participate as volunteers, observers, players, coaches, officials and managers.
