“When we started the sports division in 2006, the industry was still in its infancy in the region,” said Euan Megson, Action Global Communications’ Managing Director, MENA. “Fast-forward two decades and sport is not only a hugely important economic growth sector, but also a driving force of innovation as seen through the launch of new hybrid sporting events such as the Games of the Future in Abu Dhabi and the FIFAe Finals in Riyadh. We are proud to be a leading player entwined with the growth of regional sports in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and believe that this sector will continue to expand with new milestones in the years to come.”
