Redefining Sports.
Empowering Communities.
SDMI Sports is a professional sports management organization — not a league or federation — but a strategic operations partner trusted by international sporting bodies, government institutions, and local communities.
Mission
To deliver top-tier sports management in the Philippines through seamless planning, professional execution, and strategic partnerships that promote sports tourism while creating meaningful impact for athletes, communities, and partners.
Vision
To establish the Philippines as a premier destination for international sporting events, creating lasting impact for athletes, communities, and global audiences by elevating event experiences that celebrate both the sport and its culture.
Our History
SDMI Sports began as a small, dedicated team of sports professionals and ocean advocates united by a shared mission — to elevate the standard of sports event management in the Philippines.
The organization first made its mark through surfing, producing international-level competitions that met the standards of the World Surf League (WSL) and the International Surfing Association (ISA). Over the years, SDMI Sports evolved from managing grassroots surf events to becoming a leading sports management company capable of handling large-scale international tournaments, athlete programs, and sports tourism projects across the country.
