Back-to-school time for AMOS INTERNATIONAL
Students in the GSBM (Global Sport Business Masters) programme have now joined the various AMOS campuses with the firm ambition to take advantage of the academic and professional opportunities available to them.
It is back-to-school time on the AMOS campuses! In Bordeaux, London, Lyon, and Paris, 4th year students who have chosen the GSBM Programme are in their chosen campus for the launch of their International Masters’ programme.
International training has a central place in the professional career at AMOS.
Today with over 37 carefully selected partner universities over 4 continents, the variety and quality of the programmes offered abroad allow the students to project themselves into an international universe which corresponds to their professional project. This international expansion offers a great number of assets for the students to acquire new skills in Sport Management within a multicultural environment in order to succeed in their professional integration abroad.
Students start a programme 100% in English, which studies three essential geographic areas in the sports market: Europe, Asia, and North America.
The course is punctuated by:
- A seminar in Munich at the ISPO fair, globally known to showcase new innovations and trends in the equipment manufacturing and distribution sectors.
- A seminar in China which includes visits to Shanghai and Beijing, and meetings with professionals from the Asian sport business.
- A seminar in Chicago which is a full immersion in the Anglo-Saxon sports culture with visits to sports facilities, and conferences on the American economic model.
On each campus, an international representative shared his experience on the European, American, and Asian markets. These are exceptional times in the launch of their academic year which also give our students a first moment to reflect on their future ambitions!

“Europe is a constant growing sports market with worldwide recognized sports teams and brands. The accessibility of sport through multiple channels has developed opportunities within sports transforming the direction and size of growth. A key example of the globalization of different sports is the international reach of US sports leagues in Europe hosting games, events, and the promotion of fan engagement. In parallel European sports leagues have taken a similar approach exploring opportunities in the US, Asia, and Middle East. AMOS students are getting the opportunity to develop their knowledge and be a part of the ever-growing globalised sports business.”

“The economic growth and globalisation in Asia are developing new opportunities for the sports industry, particularly in China. The development of sports practices is widely encouraged by the authorities to address public health issues, gather around common values while satisfying the demands of a growing urban population. China also aims to become an indispensable actor in major international sports events. A large number of sectors are involved in the sports and leisure industry, as well as in upstream projects, and in regards to their implementation and sustainability. Through this programme, students will be able to comprehend Asian sports industry and policies, as well as gain intercultural management skills.”

GSBM AMOS Students at the Sports Tech Nation 2022 in Tel-Aviv
A close partnership and a futuristic vision
On September 2022, AMOS Sport Business School and Colosseum Sports Tech Hub agreed to launch a close partnership with various elements and a futuristic vision. At first, Colosseum organized a Hackathon in collaboration with Pixellot, the well-known Sport AI Camera (TLV Born), on the Business theme: How the French education sector can leverage Pixellot Automated technology to help athletes in underprivileged communities get exposure? The GSBM (Global Sports Business Master) Master 1 students from London, Paris, Madrid, Bordeaux, and Lille Campus had 5 days to develop and present a strategic plan, in order to help Pixellot penetrate the French market.
Pixellot and colosseum evaluated the projects, and 10 groups (out of 30) were chosen to present their ideas live to Pixellot executives in a 7-mins pitch, when 3 groups from AMOS Paris, Madrid, and London (each group consisted of 3 students) were voted as the winners of the challenge and awarded the trip to TLV, to take an active part along with colosseum officials in the organization of the legendary Sports Tech Nation Fair.
The students arrived to TLV a day before the event, and they had the opportunity to initiate in footvolley, visit the Bloomfield stadium, and attend a guided tour of the Peres Center for Peace & Innovation in Tel-Aviv – Jaffa.
During the 1st day of the event, the students networked and met multiple Sports start-ups, companies, and actors involved in the Global Sports Business and Tech sector and participated in conferences and round tables about Sports Tech development worldwide.
The students also had significant responsibilities during the event such as:
• Press releases
• Communications
• Logistics
• Social Media management (Video creation)
• Moderation of Conferences
• Flux management
On the 2nd day of the event, the student visited the Israeli stock exchange where a B2B Marathon was held, and the participants of the summit met and worked together on various projects.
Andy (USA & ESBS by AMOS Madrid)
« Tel Aviv was an experience like no other. Being able to work at Sports Tech Nation and immersing myself in the culture was awesome. I very much enjoyed my time there and hope to go back one day. »Quinn Murphy (Canada & AMOS Paris)
« Sports tech nation 2022 in Tel Aviv was an unbelievable event. I really enjoyed meeting the local startups as well as having the opportunity to try their innovative products. Furthermore, networking, and listening to leading companies in the sports tech industry such as Socios.com, Juventus Football Club, Pixellot, Blocksport and FIFPRO discuss the future trends surrounding fan engagement and the blockchain as well as the importance of data analytics in sports and how core technologies are changing the relationship between rights holders and fans was an experience I will never forget. »Oren Simanian, CEO of Colosseum
« Digital transformation in Sports is happening big time, we see many of the sports actors, taping in deep technologies and adopting technologies as we have never seen before. As the founder of Colosseum, it was outstanding to have this international group of students from AMOS, coming from all over the world and experiencing technology at the Sports tech nation summit. I think that as future managers of sports, the students will have to learn to adopt the technologies and the globalization of the sports sector. » « I was impressed to see how much value the students donated to the operation of the summit, and I feel like these Multi-lingual, cultural, and technological experiences gave them the possibility to get exposed to many unusual on-site events, cultures, and environments they could not experience anywhere else. I am blessed to have the opportunity to partner and collaborate with AMOS Sport Business school, and I want to thank Mr. Patrick Touati, Sylvestre, and Itamar who initiated this contact and managed the students during the event. Thank you, AMOS Sport Business School, for the trust, and for allowing us this collaboration. »24 Nov 2022

Alumni interview, Workforce Manager, FIFA 2022 World Cup
Meet our alumni Nathalie
Six years ago, a young Thai/Belgian student named Nathalie was starting a new life at AMOS Paris. After a first year of Bachelor studying Science and Chemistry, she completely changed her mind and decided to come to AMOS to study Sports Business. Six years later, this young and promising individual, described as « very conscientious, engaged and always focused » by her ex-director Joanne Macrae, is working as Workforce Manager, in Qatar for the FIFA 2022 World Cup. For this young and ambitious woman, networking and volunteering experiences have paved the way to success. It was while volunteering for the Paris 7 World Rugby Series that she discovered her will to work in the sports industry, it was by volunteering in London that she found her passion for sporting events, and it is through a co-worker that she got in touch with her current employer. As she says, « your network is key, the world of sporting events is really small », and her experience proved her right. A year ago this month, Nathalie arrived in Qatar and was getting ready to take part in the organisation of one of the World’s most famous sporting event: the FIFA World Cup.
Her job in Qatar
She is one of the workforce operations managers, supervising over 3000 people. « Our role is to plan and assist in all workforce areas, this includes workforce and headcount planning, catering, accreditations, uniforms, and trainings. We have over 60 operational sites, so it is about making sure that everyone is at the right place at the right time, knows their missions and has enough time to rest ». Nathalie is handling a wide range of missions which requires a particular set of skills, « patience, attention to detail, emotional intelligence, being open-minded, thinking outside of the box and the ability to handle pressure ». When asked about her favourite thing at work, Nathalie did not start with missions she was given but with the enjoyment she found in managing and meeting people; « the diversity of nationalities (88% of the workforce in Qatar is composed of foreign workers) and their backgrounds make this job exciting, people are coming from all over the world and are working as one team ».
Having an « international approach, being open-minded, having the capacity to adapt yourself to any situation and being able to work in a multi-cultural environment » are the things she benefited from when undertaking the Global Sport Business Masters at AMOS London.
Her bucket lists
Everyone who knows about the journey of this brilliant person would probably think: What can you expect from your professional career when the first event you are working for is the Football World Cup? It sounds like starting your meal with the cherry on top of the cake. But for her, the exciting part is in the variety of events that are – yet - to be organised; « Most of the people I am currently working with already know each other from other mega sports events organised in the past, such as the Olympics, Formula 1, the previous Football and Rugby World Cups or the HSBC 7 series. So, when I hear all these amazing experiences, I do not want to choose, I want to live them all! »
Nathalie has been kind enough to grant us a long interview, and we will explain some other aspects of her experience in our future articles. So, stay tuned!10 Nov 2022

Queen Elizabeth II: a loving monarch, fan of sport and its values
Queen Elizabeth II reigned for more than 70 years...
When she was born in Mayfair in 1926, Princess Elizabeth (later The Queen) and her family did not expect that she would one day become Monarch. But everything changed in December 1936 when her uncle – King Edward VIII - abdicated, making her father King, and her next in line to the throne. Queen Elizabeth II will assume the title of Queen in 1952 after her father's death and reigned for more than 70 years until her death on Sept. 8, 2022, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history. She was also the only female member of the royal family to have entered the armed forces and served in World War II.A sport and animals' lover
Queen Elizabeth II loved sports - in particular, horse racing. She bred and raced horses and her affection for the animals (horses and dogs - corgis in particular) and sport was well known throughout her reign. But she was also a huge fan of cricket, football, Wimbledon, and the Royal Ascot. It was typical to see the Queen meeting with cricket teams and attending famous sporting events. She presented World Cups and several other sporting accolades during her 70-year reign. Whether her influence on sport is remembered in the famous scenes as she handed England’s Sir Bobby Moore the World Cup trophy in 1966, or her humorous James Bond cameo in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, the monarch’s love of sport and competition shone through in so many memorable moments. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II became the first reigning monarch to win the Ascot Gold Cup winning horse. Find below the video of her celebration: In her final years, her love for equestrianism continued on, and one of her last public appearances was a visit to the Royal Windsor Horse Show. A loving monarch, fan of sport and its values, this is the way AMOS will remember the longest reigning Queen the United Kingdom has ever known.29 Sep 2022
