While opportunity in the area of sponsorship keeps growing bigger, there is a need to get more scientific about its whereabouts.

It encapsulates the perspectives of both sponsors and clubs concerning relational quality (RQ) while elucidating the importance of sponsorship as a revenue stream and a brand equity driver. 70% of large sponsorship deals in Britain happen in football while the Indian sports sponsorship market has grown by a massive 12.3% in 2015/16 season and is expected to thrive with non-cricket sports like football gaining mass popularity.
