Sportal scored an important goal when it won the contract for official web-site producer for Euro 2000.

The firm's numerous partnerships include an agreement to provide sports-related content for Cable & Wireless. In Britain it screens football, Formula One, horse racing, and rugby. Founded in 1998 under the name Pangolin by chief executive Rob Hersov, it now has offices across Europe and is expanding into Asia. It has a cross-promotional deal with BskyB in the UK and Fininvest in Italy and Spain. Both companies are also investors in Sportal.
