4. OPPORTUNITY
A DISSECTED MARKET
ON A GLOBAL LEVEL.
Nobody currently owns the local sporting
community on a global level.
For most sports enthusiasts, the way to find
sports to play is through Internet search,
recommendation, trial and sometimes luck.
For clubs and event managers, the way to get
exposure is through their own websites (google
Search), word of mouth and traditional paid
media, marketing and partnerships. Smaller
clubs, sport associations and amateur clubs
are finding it challenging to attract new
members and manage event organization while
still focusing on their main effort which is to
provide a great sport experience.
There is a need for a platform that will allow
sport enthusiasts to find the right clubs and
clubs to easily grow and manage their
members without defocusing from their
main objective.
5. There has never been a better time to create both a solution designed to
help clubs and event managers take advantage of the digital world,
as well as something that ignites and inspires people to seek
out sports they can take part in their local community.
We believe we have that solution.
6. GAMEPLAYSPORT.COM IS
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO

FOR SPORTING CLUBS WHO

9. THE POWER OF NOW
WHY DUBAI?
The internet age has changed it all… we want
access and discovery on the go and GPS is all
about discovering or setting up and participating
in new activities easily and rapidly.
The digital trend is only starting in Dubai while
all the criteria are available for the trend to catch
up with more mature markets. With a telecom’s
infrastructure ranked among the world’s best, a
300 000 medium to high income expatriate
community and an excellent range of
activities ranging from from sailing to kite
surfing, Dubai needs a centralized digital sports
platform to help sports enthusiasts find the
sports they like and meet new people.
10. There is still a BIG opportunity to solve a
BIG CHALLENGE.
Some current platforms cater for one sport only
(cycling, running) while some are very closed off
and others are simply human resources intense
(Duplays). Majority are administrative tools which
are tailored made for a few sports (football).
Game Play Sport aims to provide a simple yet
comprehensive solution for sport enthusiast to
discover, try and participate in their sport
community. On the club side, we believe they
deserve a better digital platform to connect and
inspire their members to support them in doing
more sport.
