Summer of Sport: Embracing the authentic fan experience

Many of our most enduring experiences and stories are written by the sports industry. But the global market for sports fans and followers makes it more competitive than ever. Success is hard won and can be easily lost.

OpSec recognizes the power of sports and the commercial partnerships that underpin it. We understand that retaining the authenticity of the fan experience, delivering on heritage, and reconciling the interests of licensing and media partners is a game all of its own. But we are also alive to ruthless cheats in the form of counterfeiters and media pirates. So we play with some of the greatest teams in the world and we play to win.
