Sports have become a global phenomenon in recent times, growing rapidly around the world. It contributes substantially to the economy of many countries where more and more resources are invested in sports. Though much public interest has been built over the years mainly by the influence of the press, and the massive resources invested in sports, there has been relatively little to show by way of winnings. It is public knowledge that the characteristic poor planning has been blamed for the common woeful performance. Nothing much by way of solution to the problems has been forthcoming This faculty seeks to attract attention to the nature and characteristics of the sporting industry in most countries, to arouse interest and explore how the industry can be better planned, properly marketed, and well managed.
