Research and Innovation focus: The business of sport cannot be imagined without fans or sport consumers. No spectators at matches or buyers of apparel, no potential sponsors or recipients for the sports media. Such a scenario is unimaginable. The sport industry needs consumers or fans who are willing to spend their time and money on their favourite sport thus making supporters the most important part of the sport business. Therefore, it becomes essential that a new paradigm in the context of sports marketing be implemented. Indeed, relationship marketing is such a paradigm that provides sports marketers with the opportunity to establish, develop and maintain meaningful and mutually beneficial long-term associations with fans, sponsors, and the media as well as internal and external stakeholders.
