About this Event

Behind every team and sporting event is an entire industry of diverse professions including coaches, journalists, physios, nutritionists, officials and more....

Careers in Sport LIVE provides young people with the opportunity to see first-hand the wide ranging roles at work behind-the-scenes within a professional sports club and their foundation.

The event provides insights into the sports industry and reduce some of the barriers attendees may face in pursuing their ambitions.

Held at the iconic American Express Stadium in Brighton, Careers in Sport LIVE, in partnership with Brighton and Hove Albion FC Foundation, promotes careers in Sports Business, Coaching, Media and Science.
