Macau Sport Development Board aim high as Gold Sponsorship contract is extended for 2 years.

Macau is set to increase its profile amongst the international sports movement following its commitment to Gold Sponsorship of the SportAccord International Convention for a further 2 years.  The partnership, which started at the 2008 event in Athens, has been rewarding and productive for both the Macau Sport Development Board and The SportAccord International Convention and both parties look forward to continued collaboration across the Dubai 2010 and London 2011 editions.

“One of the strengths of The SportAccord Convention is its capacity to provide a window of opportunity for cities and regions around the world to step forward into the limelight and show their enthusiasm and capability to host International Sports Events.  Macau Sports Development board have seized this opportunity and it is our pleasure to work with them to ensure they maximise it” Anna Hellman, Executive Director, SportAccord Convention
