Presentation Oval Marketing Book
Rugby’s day has finally arrived. The Rugby World Cup is the third largest media event in the world, (after the Soccer World Cup and the Olympic Games), reaching over 400 million fans.
Rugby is also obtaining greater visibility in Italian sports business circles. It is considered a “clean” alternative to the spectacle of soccer, and thanks to its component value, rugby is gaining more recognition not only from passionate fans, like the 80,000 who attended the San Siro (Italy) vs. “All Blacks” match in November 2009, but also from investors.
The expansion of rugby is also the result of an attentive strategy where the calls of the market have contributed to the development of a movement with exponential growth rates in Italy. In a span of ten years, from 2000-2010, the number of season ticket holders has grown from approximately 30,000 to 80,0000, and the annual budget of the Italian Rugby Federation is nearing 38 million Euro, which is four times larger than it was when Italy first entered the Six Nations Championship. |
