THE PALACE SPORTS STORY
Palace Sports started in 2021 as a way for our founder, Ogbonna “Prince” Uche, to share sports information, highlights, and facts he found interesting during the pandemic. Sharing sports news quickly became a passion for Prince which led to the launch of the Palace Sports podcast within a couple of weeks of starting the page.
Through the page, Prince has been able to connect with sports fans, industry professionals, and athletes to provide a better sports experience through content. We are constantly shifting and experimenting with ways to break out in the industry and that opportunity presented itself through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL).
We signed our first athlete, Zion Sellers – UNCP Soccer, in July 2021 and were able to officially launch the Palace Sports Agency in 2022 to represent athletes and help them connect with brands while developing their personal brands.
With the help of our amazing followers, interns, and people who believe in what we are doing, we are well on our way to providing the best sports experiences on any platform.
