Sport Hosting

Sport tourism is an emerging market on the international stage and one that has recently been identified as a key sector market for the City of Richmond. Richmond is well positioned to take advantage of this emerging market with its facility inventory, abundance of accommodations, excellent transportation network, strong history of sport hosting by community sport groups, active educational institutions, established sport council and engaged corporate community.

The City of Richmond’s Sport Hosting Office offers complimentary services to sport organizations and organizing committees in helping to bid for, plan and stage sport events in Richmond.
