The Sports Consultancy’s co-founder and Managing Director, Robert Datnow was in conversation with Sir Hugh Robertson at Sports Pro Live today discussing how sport and politics can mix to positive effect.
A lively conversation covered role of government and the role of Falcon in Dubai in relation to major events, the strategic rationales for World Expo and World Future sports games and considerations for a future Olympic bid in the region.
Closer to home, Sir Hugh provided a fascinating perspective from his role in Government working across the bidding processes for the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup and IAAF world athletics as well as the many tangible legacies of London 2012, preparations for Rio and the advantages and disadvantages of the BOA’s independence from government.
