The EMEA is the second largest region


with US$42.8bn (£27.4bn, €32.2bn) or 35 per cent of the total global revenues. This region is projected to have the


slowest growth rate at 2.9 per cent, which partly reflects underlying economic conditions and a reflection of the timing of major sports events, with 2010 being such a strong year in EMEA – given the FIFA World Cup and 2015 being a relatively quiet year. EMEA shows the most fluctuation over

They are particularlyu a key source of income in the regions where live sports events are part of the local culture. However, this mature market will see the lowest growth across all segments of the sports market at just 2.5 per cent CAGR from 2011-2015.
