The Major Sporting Projects Delivery Directorate is a new directorate within DCMS’s Policy Group. It will oversee the Government’s input to some of the highest profile programmes in the world of sport.
Amongst the projects and programmes covered by the team are:
- The UEFA European Championships 2028 - ensuring the Government delivers on its commitments to ensure that this major event is staged successfully, maximising economic growth and benefiting local communities. This programme is part of the Government Major Projects Portfolio, and the post-holder will be the Senior Responsible Officer.
- The future pipeline of major sporting events - ensuring the Government meets its manifesto commitment to keep securing, and successfully hosting, the world’s biggest and best sporting events, including the women’s Rugby World Cup 2025.
- Grassroots facilities delivery - overseeing the delivery of hundreds of millions into multi-sport grassroots facilities across the UK, as part of the EURO 2028 impact programme and to tackle inactivity, support the Health mission and build cohesive communities through providing access to high quality shared sporting spaces.
The directorate is evolving out of a unit within the existing Sport and Gambling Directorate, with which it will need to continue working seamlessly.
The team prioritises a positive workplace culture, where colleagues are committed to excellence in delivery, ongoing personal development, a supportive working environment, and operating seamlessly with colleagues and stakeholders based across the UK, and beyond.
