RNS Number:0932T First Artist Corporation PLC 18 March 2002 Embargoed Release: 0700 hours, 18th March 2002 First Artist Corporation Plc ('First Artist' or 'the Company') announces Asian Joint Venture with World Sport Group plc The Board of First Artist Corporation Plc, the leading football management and representation company, is pleased to announce the establishment of a joint venture with World Sport Group plc ('World Sport Group'). The joint venture company, which will be called First Artist International, has been established to identify and promote sporting talent across the Asia Pacific and Australasian regions. First Artist is the world's largest football player management agency whose portfolio of leading European based players includes Kanu (Arsenal), Patrik Andersson (Barcelona), Paul Gascoigne (Everton), Kevin Phillips (Sunderland), Tore Andre Flo (Glasgow Rangers) and Francesco Antonioli (AS Roma). World Sport Group is a major sports media, marketing and management company which owns an extensive portfolio of blue chip sports properties predominantly across Asia. Its media and marketing rights include the Asian Professional Golfers' Association, Asian Football Confederation ("AFC") events, Oceania Football Confederation events as well as an interest in the Cricket World Cup. The joint venture will allow both organisations to pool their expertise at a time when the world's attention is focused on Asia in the lead up to the forthcoming World Cup in Japan and South Korea, 2002 and the Asian Cup in China in 2004. First Artist International will be operated by a number of staff from First Artist who will be based at World Sport Group's existing offices in Hong Kong. Phil Smith, Director of First Artist, commented: "This is an exciting opportunity to establish a commanding presence in an increasingly important football market. Over 1 billion people watch the English premiership every weekend across the globe. The forthcoming World Cup in South Korea and Japan means that there is the potential to generate interest amongst a further few hundred million people in the region. This is of great importance to First Artist as there is a positive correlation between an expanding fan base and the strength of the transfer market. This joint venture means that we now have an office in every important football market place in the world." David Ciclitira, Executive Chairman of World Sport Group, commented: "World Sport Group enjoys a dominant position in the Asian sports market. Our joint venture with First Artist is a further endorsement of our strategy and reinforces our belief that World Sport Group is the partner for businesses looking to build their operations and brands through sport in Asia."
