Effective Measure MENA Regional Director, Dinesh Arasaratnam, said, “We can see a spike in traffic on sport sites in MENA whenever the big European football clubs, such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Barcelona played.
Daily average across MENA for sport sites in the first two weeks of September:
• GCC: 530,000 unique browsers, up 2.6%
• Levant: 180,000 unique browsers, up 3.4%
• North Africa: 920,000 unique browsers, up 1.55%
