Many congratulations to the nominees: 2020's Best Sports Club / Sports Event Hospitality!

The DAIMANI Journal is delighted to share in the news that seven clubs or events have been shortlisted for the prestigious bragging rights of winning the UK’s Sports Business Awards 2020 best sports hospitality.

And six of the seven are clubs or events that have been using DAIMANI since our launch in October last year as one of their sales agents using our ground-breaking digital platform.

The nominees are:

  • Arsenal Football Club
  • Ascot Racecourse
  • Aston Martin Red Bull Racing – Paddock Club Hospitality
  • Emirates Old Trafford
  • Hospitality at The Championships, Wimbledon – Keith Prowse
  • Rugby World Cup 2019 Official Hospitality Programme – Sports Travel & Hospitality Group (STH)
  • The Dugout at Brighton & Hove Albion – Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club

There are 31 judges for this and a further 16 other awards, with some of the most recognisable names in the UK sport participating.

The organisers, Football Business Awards Ltd, say ‘Each entry will be scored by at least 4 judges in total. The organisers will collate the individual scores and use the average marks given to initially decide the finalists and ultimately to determine the award winners.’

The awards will be announced on December 16 at a luncheon to be held at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London. Organisers have early-bird pricing for individuals attending, and tables of 10 and 12 until the end of August.
