Which Events Should Be On Your Sporting Bucket List in 2021

2020 has certainly changed the way sports fans across the world watch, participate in and engage in sports. For many, the cancellation of their favourite sports has been tough to endure, for others, postponements and shifting of games and seasons has become a reality. The most forward-thinking choice for many sporting events has since been to either play behind doors or allow ‘boxed’ seating in which limited seating is provided – socially distanced. We’ve therefore relooked at the sporting industry and have created a list of bucket–list events every sports fan should experience at least once in their lives.
