ESPN STAR Sports’ Event Management has been appointed by Netball Singapore to organise the World Netball Championships, the most prestigious international netball tournament in the world, when it takes place in Singapore during 1-10 July 2011.

ESS Event Management was chosen based on its broad spectrum of expertise in sports event management consultancy and experience in organizing large-scale sporting events through an integrated event strategy across multiple platforms. This is the second major international sports competition that ESS Event Management has been selected as event management consultants since it was appointed in December 2008 to work on next month’s Men’s Junior Hockey World Cup.

As one of the region’s premier sports event management company, ESS Event Management will oversee organisational aspects of sports and competition; athlete services and liaison; supervising event operations to efficiently run the tournament such as venue management, accreditation, accommodation, transportation, spectator services, security and safety; managing event production for onsite entertainment, spectator activities and creating the event image; handling the marketing and PR to drive event promotion, oversee media relations and event branding as well as sponsorship and client servicing to create platforms for promotions such as sponsorship activation opportunities.

In addition, ESPN STAR Sports Event Management will expand its scope to oversee the event management for the 2010 Nations Cup, an annual invitational competition that features top netball sides from around the world. ESS Event Management had previously worked with Netball Singapore to broadcast highlights from last year’s competition and will showcase highlights from the competition on 2-12 December 2009 on its broadcast networks.

Said Mr. Manu Sawhney, ESPN STAR Sports Managing Director: “We’re proud to stage such a prestigious world-class event and we’re committed to lending our expertise and our best resources to organize the best World Netball Championships to date. We will ensure that the event will be held at the highest international standards for the competitors and spectators. We look forward to delivering another marquee event with the cream of the world’s best teams coming to Singapore for this premier international event.”

Said Mr Tan Wee Khim, President of Netball Singapore: “The World Netball Championship is a major sporting event to mark on Singapore’s sports calendar, and we are proud to be working with a committed partner in ESPN STAR Sports’ Event Management, and look forward to a great event with their strong tradition in delivering premier event across the region and decade-long experience in sports event management and consultancy.”

The World Netball Championships is held once every four years, and the 12th edition will see the world’s top 16 teams will compete for the championship title in 2011 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, comprising the top five ranked counties in the world, the top two countries from each of the five netball regions and the host country Singapore.

ESS Event Management has a proud tradition of organising premier sporting events around Asia, having managed and produced more than 1,000 top regional events in 11 countries featuring world-class athletes such as the highly-popular KIA X Games Asia, the Guinness 9 Ball Tour and the KL World 5s, World Pool Championships, the FEI World Endurance Championship, the Cartier International Polo, the Aviva Asian Bowling Tour, Formula Drift Singapore, amongst many others.
