At FG SPORTS, we deliver this service with a high level of professionalism and precision, drawing on over a decade of experience across the Saudi, regional, and global markets, supported by deep expertise in the sports industry and a strong understanding of customer preferences and market dynamics.
Sponsorship and Activation Consulting
In the Saudi sports market, approximately 500 sponsorship and advertising agreements are signed annually. Some of these deals are structured around clear strategies and defined objectives, supported by expert consultation—resulting in successful outcomes, well-balanced valuations, and strong mutual benefits for both parties. Others, however, are executed without strategic guidance, often leading to challenges such as high costs and suboptimal returns.
At FG SPORTS, we provide specialized sponsorship and advertising consulting services. We design tailored strategies for sponsoring brands to ensure distinctive and impactful visibility within the sports sector. Our services include identifying the most suitable sponsorship opportunities, supporting selection and negotiation processes, and managing as well as activating sponsorship agreements in the most effective, efficient, and value-driven manner.
Strategic Plans
A strategic plan serves as the roadmap for any organization seeking to achieve its objectives with precision and efficiency. Accordingly, we provide this service based on our expertise and experience—starting with reviewing and refining objectives in collaboration with the client to ensure they are SMART and well-defined.
We then conduct a comprehensive analysis of the organization’s internal and external environment to develop an effective, tailored strategy that supports the achievement of these objectives. This is underpinned by well-structured initiatives, operational plans, tactical actions, and key performance indicators (KPIs) that collectively cover all dimensions of the strategic plan.
Governance and Organizational Structuring
We support sports organizations in implementing best-in-class governance practices to enhance transparency, improve financial performance, and elevate the quality of administrative operations. We also assist in designing robust organizational structures that streamline internal relationships and ensure effective integration across departments, resulting in high-quality outputs.
In addition, we help define and regulate the relationship between executive management, the board of directors, and key stakeholders. This enables organizations to achieve their strategic and commercial objectives while strengthening their competitive positioning in the market.

Accordingly, we approach this service by first understanding what the client aims to achieve from their campaigns. We then support them in defining clear objectives, based on which we develop targeted campaign goals, design the appropriate strategy, and execute it with a high level of professionalism to ensure measurable success.
We have a proven track record in delivering successful and distinctive marketing campaigns across both digital and on-ground channels. Our approach emphasizes creativity and precision—developing compelling ideas and crafting content that aligns closely with the specific objectives of each campaign to maximize effectiveness.
Fan Base Development and Fan Relationship Enhancement Strategy
This strategy enables sports clubs and federations to systematically build and strengthen their fan base in a structured and effective manner. We focus on developing comprehensive strategies for sports organizations to attract audiences and establish strong, lasting relationships with them—starting from fan awareness plans, through relationship development initiatives, and culminating in full fan engagement strategies.
This approach also helps deepen the connection with fans, transforming it into a mutually beneficial relationship that evolves into long-term loyalty. Over time, this loyalty translates into sustained customer behavior, with fans consistently engaging with and purchasing the club’s products and offerings.
Attendance and Fan Experience Strategies
Many clubs and sports competitions have a strong fan base, yet struggle with low attendance at matches and events due to the absence of effective engagement strategies that motivate fans to attend.
We address this challenge by helping clients define clear, smart objectives and develop tailored, high-impact strategies to achieve them. Our approach goes beyond driving attendance—we focus on designing and delivering a compelling fan experience during events, ensuring a positive and lasting impression that encourages repeat attendance and sustained engagement.
Fan Engagement Consulting
Commercial Rights and Revenue Growth Consulting
Commercial Rights Identification and Development
At this stage, we assess, analyze, and identify the commercial rights held by the client, evaluating whether they are being optimally utilized and monetized at their true market value or require further development.
Based on this assessment, we enhance and structure the client’s commercial rights within a clear and robust strategic framework aimed at diversifying revenue streams and maximizing income. Key rights typically include:
(Advertising Inventory) – (Naming Rights) – (Licensing) – (Merchandising) – (Digital Products)
Commercial Rights Sales and Management
Following the development of a structured strategy for the client’s commercial rights, the next phase focuses on commercialization and sales. We design tailored propositions and packages to present these rights to potential buyers. Leveraging our experienced sales team, along with our extensive network, partnerships, and broad client base, we successfully place these rights with investors—enabling clubs and sports entities to diversify revenue streams and maximize returns through:
(Advertising Inventory) – (Naming Rights) – (Licensing) – (Merchandising) – (Digital Products)
Once the commercial rights are acquired by investors, a formal relationship is established between the investor and the rights-holding sports entity. This relationship requires ongoing management and oversight to ensure continuity, performance, and long-term value creation. Accordingly, after the development and sale phases, we provide comprehensive commercial rights management services, overseeing partnerships and ensuring contractual obligations are executed effectively in line with strategic objectives.
This includes:
(Contract Compliance & Execution Monitoring) – (Rights Management & Ongoing Updates) – (Reporting & Continuous Optimization)
Sponsorship Package Development and Pricing Strategies
We support rights holders in structuring sponsorship packages in a compelling and commercially attractive manner for brands. We also develop professional pricing strategies, grounded in a deep understanding of the Saudi market in general and the sponsorship landscape in particular, along with extensive experience in club and competition sponsorships.
Sponsor Acquisition Strategies (Targeting and Negotiation)
With the wide range of advertising and brand visibility channels available today, many corporate decision-makers face challenges in selecting the most effective platform. Given that sport is one of the most visible, impactful, and cost-efficient platforms compared to others, we have specialized in this domain—positioning ourselves as a leading player in the sponsorship market.
We excel in identifying the most suitable opportunities and designing highly effective strategies that align with our clients’ objectives within the sports sector. We support clients in securing sponsorship opportunities through intelligent targeting, backed by deep market analysis, extensive industry knowledge, and long-standing experience in the sports ecosystem.
Our approach consistently focuses on achieving mutual value for both parties, fostering successful and sustainable partnerships built on well-structured and effective strategies.
Sponsorship Management and Activation Strategies
Once a sponsorship agreement is signed, the most critical phase begins: managing the sponsorship to ensure maximum value realization. Sponsorship is not merely a logo placed on a team jersey or displayed at a sporting venue—it is a dynamic process of engagement and activation that ultimately drives tangible outcomes.
The success of any sponsorship initiative depends heavily on effective management and well-executed activation strategies. Activation transforms sponsorship from a static presence into an interactive, value-generating platform. Through impactful activation, sponsors can deepen engagement with fans, build meaningful relationships, and gradually convert them into loyal customers.
We specialize in managing and activating sponsorship projects through a dedicated team that delivers creative and innovative execution. Our team oversees every detail of the sponsorship lifecycle, ensuring optimal performance and successful outcomes.
