TSA

VISION 2030

Our VISION is to be Asia’s first global Sports & Esports agency

TSA has generated over US$500 MILLION of new revenue for the sports industry throughout the 25 years of our involvement.  Money that flowed into the Game, money which supported the creation of new events, build and sustained competitions, upgraded infrastructures and provided athletes prize money and pay cheques.

At the same time, we created incredible memories for the athletes and fans: from The Rock (WWE) standing in the ring from Tokyo to Singapore in front of sold-out arenas of screaming fans to the first ever Bundesliga Match on Chinese soil to the richest Badminton tournament (Axiata Cup) to the first Naming rights deal the Axiata Arena in South East Asia, to Danny Way jumping over the Great Wall of China with a Skateboard.  We created emotions for both athletes and the fans, lots of happy tears and standing ovations.  We created legacies which will never be forgotten and will be talked about for decades.

And in the process we gave BRANDS an opportunity to connect with the FANS, with their PASSION, their DREAMS and HOPES.  We’ve always aimed for the ultimate WIN-WIN-WIN situation for the SPORT, the FANS and our BRAND PARTNERS. 

NOW the TSA Group is THINKING even BIGGER and BOLDER and BRINGING even larger sums into the GAME, by targeting US$1 BILLION over the next 10 YEARS.  That’s twice the money in half the time.

Our focus will include not only traditional sports but also ESPORTS/E-GAMING.  We will play right at the intersection of both of these amazing entertainment genres.

Our role will go way beyond media and sponsorship deals for Sports & Esports, it will include smart partnerships and new Revenue models for IP owners, Education, Health & Sports Tech and the latest digital technology for Fan engagement, Sports Master Planning, and Sports/Esports Venues and townships.  

We will not only find new revenue streams, but we will bring new forms of funding to both Sports and Esports by partnering with the smartest Financial and Fin-tech groups in the world.  This will include Crowd Funding, Crypto-currencies, Tokenization of Assets, Government Funding as well as traditional Equity and Debt funding.

Our Vision is to create a US$100 million Sports/Esports Fund for Asia over the next 3 years which will eventually grow to US$1 billion in fire power over the next 10 years for projects across the world.
