This has not been an easy task given the speed of change in our industry. An integral and vital part of the present day Operations Group are the staff, seconded from various EBU members, that work with us during these operations. These staff members have dedicated long and tiring hours to the Operations Group and without them the group would not exist. Some EBU veterans may still recall the names of Horst Seifert, Hugo Marty, Bob Noakes, Luigi Baroni, among others and obviously, the unforgettable Jarle Hoeysaeter and Manolo Romero. The Headquarters of The Sports Operations Group has been Located in several cities around the World, and is now based in Madrid, Spain, but with contributors in other Countries such as Norway and Switzerland. The Sports Operations Group consists of six full time and three part- time employees. As sporting events grow every year with more demands from all quarters, it is our goal to adapt and grow in order to provide our members with the best service possible, our aim is always to stay ahead of the game.

Our aim for the future is to provide the best service possible to the EBU members. The Group consists of the following staff:
