This time last week, on Thursday 12th May, the eagerly anticipated Sport Industry Awards 2022 took place. 1,500 sport industry professionals and athletes came together to celebrate and showcase the outstanding work and achievements of the sector in the last year.
Guests were keen to share their experiences at the biggest night in the sporting calendar on social media across the #SIAwards2022 hashtag and we’ve pulled together some of the highlights of the evening…
Tickets were at the ready for the biggest night in the sport industry calendar as influential figures from across the industry headed for Evolution London…
Looking forward to sharing an evening with our industry colleagues at tonight's Sport Industry Awards.

London’s traffic made sure it held up some of the VIP guests heading for the red carpet…

Massive team effort, with the players of the #Afghanistan Women’s National team at its heart, @khalida_popal leading the way, and @coachaffwnt @BaerHoffmann and others, including you, playing an important part @SuzyWrack so I’m happy to be able to share the moment with you https://t.co/9wFKt1jKSY

With the North London Derby kicking off just as the guest sat down for dinner, some tables struggled to put their football rivalries to one side…
I’m dressed like an Arsenal fan and @ugomonye is dressed like a Spurs fan, so this could get heated.

Mark Durden-Smith made sure that everyone knew about Laura Woods unprofessionalism…
Great night at the #SIAwards2022 with some incredibly inspiring moments & some brilliant work on show by the industry. Only low point @laura_woodsy casting off her designer shoes mid ceremony. Highly unprofessional https://t.co/w07a0Bv8Yz
