Chapter 13 Sports Sports Chapter 13 Sports Shane Murugen Associate Director, PwC Southern Africa Jerry Varachia Senior Manager, PwC Southern Africa The sports market consists of gate/ticket revenues for live sporting events, media rights fees paid to show sports on television stations, sponsorships (which include payments to have a product associated with a team or event as well as naming rights) and merchandising revenues (which includes the selling of licensed products with team or league logos and/or other intellectual property). Overall spending also includes sports betting, which consists of the house win or the revenues retained by sports books. 278 | South African entertainment and media outlook: 2012-2016 PwC | 279 Sports Sports Outlook ... at a glance ...in brief • Despite troubled economic times, sport has continued to thrive, with major events being more popular than ever. The 2012 London Olympics staged recently as well as the 2014 FIFA World Cup to be hosted in Brazil, will boost revenues over the forecast period. Lower- 2012-16 Sports total 2011 2016 tier events will have to work harder to attract supporters. CAGR(%) spending (R millions) 11 160 15 285 • Closer convergence is occurring between the sport and entertainment industries, as both 6.5 sectors continue to rise to the challenges of new digital technologies. • Sponsorships and media rights emerge as the main engines of growth, with gate revenues under pressure. There will need to be much more focus on developing sophisticated measurement techniques to demonstrate the returns on this investment. • Sponsorship is the largest contributor to PSL revenue, with Absa as the PSL’s title sponsor. Vodacom recently concluded its revised sponsorship of Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, amounting to R1 billion over five years. 2012-16 2011 2016 CAGR (%) • Understanding how the media habits of sport consumers are changing is important for all Gate revenues 3 550 4 050 2.7 commercial stakeholders in sport – broadcasters and content buyers, sports federations, Media rights 1 775 3 350 13.5 clubs, sponsors and brands. Sponsorships 3 600 5 300 8.0 • Total spending on sports is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5% Merchandising 535 610 2.7 over the forecast period, from R11.2 billion in 2011 to R15.3 billion in 2016. Sports betting 1 700 1 975 3.0 Total sports spending 11 160 15 285 6.5 Overview Revenues associated with the FIFA World Cup in 2010 left the market in 2011, leading to a 42.6% decrease in sports spending, down to R9.5 billion. When sports betting is included, the market totalled R11.2 billion, down 39.7% from 2010. While the FIFA World Cup provided a major one-off boost to the market in 2010, and a major one-off decline in 2011, the underlying sports market in South Africa is healthy as media rights and sponsorships continue to grow. Furthermore, the legacy and infrastructure that the FIFA World Cup left behind certainly provides South Africa with opportunity. The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has a media package that puts South Africa in the top 10 media rights earners in the world and is the leading league in Africa. A new PSL deal that goes into effect in 2013 will further boost media rights. The sponsorship market is also thriving, as companies look to sports to forge relationships with their customers. Vodacom renewed its sponsorship deal with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, effective from mid 2012. The deal, the largest of its kind in South African sports, is worth approximately R1 billion over five years. Even the gate market, which is relatively weak in South Africa, is expected to expand, benefiting from added teams in Super Rugby and from international events that may be shifted to South Africa because it now has the infrastructure to host such events. We project the sports market to grow at an estimated 7.1% compound annual growth rate to R13.3 billion in 2016. When sports betting is included, total spending will reach R15.3 billion in 2016, a 6.5% percent compound annual increase from 2011. 280 | South African entertainment and media outlook: 2012-2016 PwC | 281 Sports Sports Sports market (R millions) 2012-16 The global sports market 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 CAGR (%) Across the world, we’re seeing closer convergence between the sport and entertainment industries, Gate revenues 3 500 3 650 3 925 6 600 3 550 3 595 3 710 3 810 3 920 4 050 as both sectors continue to rise to the challenges of new digital technologies, which shape the way % change 4.5 4.3 7.5 68.2 -46.2 1.3 3.2 2.7 2.9 3.3 2.7 we spend our leisure time.

  • How Has Government and Corporate Investment Impacted on Eshibobo Football Club in the Context of the Build up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Wits Institutional Repository on DSPACE How has government and corporate investment impacted on eShibobo Football Club in the context of the build up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup? Alexander Kostopoulos (338173) A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg, November 2009 i Declaration I herewith declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of MA in Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or exam in any other University. It has also not previously been published in any form. Alex Kostopoulos University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 12 August 2009 ii Abstract This research has explored some of the effects that the build up to the 2010 Football World Cup to be hosted in South Africa has had on a local soccer club, eShibobo Football Club (FC)1. Much hope has been placed on this tournament to bring prosperity and overall regional development to South Africa through increased foreign investment, tourism, and improved infrastructure. Using qualitative research methods in the form of field interviews and documentary analysis, the research suggests that the increased revenue earnings of eShibobo FC can be partially linked to South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 World Cup. With this increased revenue the club has been able to spend larger amounts on player salaries, established a comprehensive youth development programme, created links with foreign clubs, and invested in technology to assist the coaching and playing staff.
