Sports economy measurement — Ethiopia first

Sport creates value here. Almost none of it is measured.

Synia builds the measurement layer for sport in markets that do not have one yet — so clubs, cities, and the brands around them can see what they actually hold.

The gap is not digital. It is instrumentation.

Sport in Ethiopia gets described as a low-data market. That is an outsider reading. The signals exist — gate counts, camp bookings, participation, spend, travel — they are simply not collected in any structured form, and no one has been asked to collect them. We start from what a market already knows about itself and build the collection method around that, rather than importing a measurement model designed for somewhere else.

What we measure

Commercial value

What a sports property is actually worth.

Clubs, federations, leagues and events carry audiences that have never been counted in a form a sponsor can price. We build the attendance and audience baseline first, then translate it into a valuation a commercial partner can underwrite.

  • Attendance and audience baselines
  • Sponsorship valuation method
  • Benchmarking against comparable markets
  • Diaspora audience measurement
Economic impact

What sport is worth to a city.

Sport moves people, and moving people is an economy — travel, accommodation, spend, employment. We help cities and public bodies score their sports assets, measure the ones that carry real upside, and decide which to activate first.

  • Sports asset scoring and prioritisation
  • Visitor volume and spend measurement
  • Event economic impact studies
  • Activation plans with a 90-day metric
