Budapest is one of the world’s top sports capitals!

Based on a new study published by Burson, a global leader in communications, Budapest is one of the world’s sports capitals. The Hungarian capital won 14th place on their 2024 Sports Cities Ranking.

According to insidethegames.biz, Burson ranked 100 cities around the world. “The ranking is based on a quantitative analysis of the digital footprint of the association between sport and a city (50% weighting), combined with perception-based opinions from leaders of international sports federations (25%) and major international sports media (25%)”, the news outlet wrote.

The world’s number one sports city is Paris, where the 2024 Summer Olympic Games will begin on 26 July. The second place went to Los Angeles, the third was New York, the fourth was London, and Madrid, the capital of Spain, was in fifth place.

With its 14th place on the ranking, Budapest precedes cities like Las Vegas, Munich, Rome, and Sydney.
