Matchroom Multi Sport Ltd has today become a limited company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Matchroom Sport Ltd.
Matchroom Multi Sport was previously a department of Matchroom Sport Ltd, but has now become its latest wholly owned subsidiary, as a separate trading limited company. Emily Frazer will be Managing Director of the new company, with Barry Hearn, Eddie Hearn and Matthew Porter also sitting on the board.
Matchroom Multi Sport will continue to promote events across a diverse range of sports, including pool’s five majors; the World Pool Championship, Mosconi Cup, US Open Pool Championship, World Pool Masters and the World Cup of Pool.

Matchroom Multi Sport will continue to expand on its diverse range of sporting events while exploring new creations and acquisitions.
Matchroom Sport Chairman Barry Hearn said: “The formation of Matchroom Multi Sport Ltd represents the latest development in the global expansion of Matchroom Sport across a broad range of interests.
“Matchroom Sport’s controlling ownership in Matchroom Boxing, Professional Darts Corporation, World Snooker and the PGA EuroPro Tour is further strengthened by Matchroom Multi Sport and its control of so many global events across a wide range of sports.
“This marks an integral part of the long-term planning for the Matchroom Sport group to ensure diversity across a range of sports in our continued pursuit of excellence.”
