“Sports licensing has always been big business (just look at sales of English Premier League replica shirts), but now it’s expanding even more rapidly across Europe,” says Anna Knight, Brand Director, Brand Licensing Europe. “This is thanks to brands like British Motor Racing, Juventus Football Club and Tour de France stepping their

operations up a gear and using international agents to manage merchandising, and also inter-brand collaborations that have seen sports companies working with huge consumer brands like Xbox One and PlayStation4.

“Testament to the vitality of the industry, as well as the wealth of opportunities that remain untapped, BLE is boasting its biggest ever sports lineup this year with

exhibitors including FIFA, Juventus Football Club, Dakar, Tour de France, PSG, Rugby World Cup 2019, Dorna Sports and Kitkase.”
