The insights Survey was created in response to an awareness that members of the iSportconnect community are looking for quality market intelligence about the trends driving the sports business.

The chose Formula E to head the list of growing sports.

They also said that the biggest event of 2019 will be the Rugby World Cup by a wide margin, ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the ICC Cricket World Cup in second and third place.

 

The insights Survey gives you the opportunity to have your say on some pressing topics. The insights will be collated and shared for everyone’s benefit.
