KINGSTON, Jamaica — Leaders from sport, business, tourism, government, investment, media, technology, education and athlete development will gather in Jamaica later this month for the inaugural Made4Goal Jamaica Global Sports Summit.

The two-day event, which will be held at the University of Technology, Jamaica on June 29 and 30, is aimed at exploring how Jamaica can move beyond producing world-class athletes to building a world-class sports industry.

In a release, organisers said the summit is being positioned as one of the most ambitious sports industry gatherings ever staged in Jamaica and forms part of a wider push to establish the country as “the sports capital of the Global South.”
