The demands of the professional sports world has become increasingly more complex as the financial arrangements supporting the industry have become both substantive and commercial. Like any other major international enterprise the sports industry requires insurance products to protect its risk exposures or importantly such products can provide the key to unlocking higher risk financial transactions.

Participants need to protect themselves against accidents and injury that can prevent them fulfilling contractual obligations, loss of sponsorship or lack of success can have major financial implications, achievement of success can lead to substantive additional reward, the financial investment in top players require innovative financial structures, investment in stadia and events can require substantial sums of money with attendant risk exposures. New sports create new risk exposures, emerging countries can have attendant risks, new sponsors require support in their endeavours, cancellation of major events can have significant financial impact……and there are many other risks to consider. GSR are fully familiar and able to deliver turnkey solutions to all these and many other sports insurance risks.

With proven skills across a broad range of sporting insurance sectors, GSR is positioned to work with our clients wherever in the world they are based, in seeking risk management, insurance or possibly reinsurance solutions (in emerging markets) with ‘A’ rated, established, international underwriters.

We have the direct experience needed to deal with the constantly evolving sports insurance landscape whether that is through traditional insurance or by developing be-spoked niche tech driven products and by utilising the capacity of both London, European or other international insurance markets. We take the truly global approach to reflect the international nature of sport.

Our expert team, based in London, has a wealth of sports and insurance knowledge which is supported by a network of specialist partners enabling us to provide clients with a truly international range of services.

Professional Sport has seen its profile grow exponentially at all levels of society, within all age groups and throughout the world. It has been estimated that in 2017 the revenue generated by global sports was conservatively US$ 90.9 billion (source: Statista 2020) and the top 10 sports in the world had a support base of 13.5 billion with football leading the way with 4 billion fans (source: World Atlas 2018). Commensurate with this explosive growth has been the sophistication of the organisational structures and financial structures that support the industry. Increasingly insurance has become an integral part of protecting the significant financial investments made in the sporting sector.

To ensure the GSR service remains cutting edge we have developed close relationships with partners who understand the intricacies of their specific sporting sectors, whether these be within established sports or within the newly emerging sectors such as e-sports. In addition as sports becomes an increasingly global enterprise we have links and connections in both developed and emerging  international economies, with all countries in the world aspiring to participate at the highest level. The GSR network enables a dialogue that reaches beyond the predictable to engage at a deeper and more specialist level, engage with the sports influencers and keep abreast of the changes taking place.
