SPORTS ALABAMA

SPORTS ALABAMA Sports Alabama is the official "state sports initiative" charged with attracting sports tourism events to Sweet Home Alabama!

The Alabama Sports Initiative (Sports Alabama) was created in 2006 to help members of the Alabama Association of Destination Marketing Organizations (AADMO) participate in sports trade shows while positioning Alabama as a unique sports destination. Thanks to the support of State Tourism Director Lee Sentell, Sports Alabama was funded and established as a cohesive team of Convention & Visitors Bure

au's from around the state working together to attract tournaments, events and competitions to Alabama. By helping off-set costs and creating marketing pieces to promote the organization, Sports Alabama allows its members to partner together to attend trade shows and explore opportunities for future business. Today, through the hard work, dedication and support of our members, Sports Alabama continues to stand as a leader and example for successful statewide sports organizations throughout the hospitality and travel industry.

IT’S HERE! The 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bass Pro Tour schedule is locked and loaded, and – WHEW – it’s a good one. From Stage 1 at Lake Guntersville to Stage 7 at Lake Erie, the 2026 slate is chock-full of historic, incredible fisheries. Hartwell in February. O.H. Ivie in March.
