Sportingweb adds Business of Sport

A key component of www.sportingweb.co.za is a section called Market Place, where South African firms and individuals can tell the world about their sports-related deals and business ideas.

Dermott White, the editor of Sportingweb, said the addition was a logical move, given that Sportingweb was part of the business-orientated Moneyweb group.

“Sportingweb's focus is to help fans get the most enjoyment they can from watching the game. Helping them to know more about the business angle of sport contributes to this,” said White.

“However, we also hope to attract more readers from the business community. Sport, in all its forms, is a huge industry, and people involved in the industry need top-quality news and information. We look forward to covering the business angle of sport with the same enthusiasm and dedication that we bring to our sports previews and news.”

He added that the Market Place section would publish sports-related press releases, and companies were encouraged to send their announcements to Sportingweb.

Sportingweb is a joint venture between Moneyweb Holdings and Sporting Odds.
