History and profile

Sportstar was established in 1978.[1][2] The magazine covers international sports, including the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro and the Olympics. It covers sports in India, including coverage of cricket, the unofficial national sport of India. Additional coverage of sports includes football, tennis and Formula One Grand Prix.

From the 28 January 2006 issue, the magazine changed its name from The Sportstar to Sportstar and moved from magazine to tabloid format. In 2012 the magazine was redesigned.[3]

The new online avatar of Sportstar was launched on 26 October 2015 amidst much fanfare at the Madras Cricket Club.[4] The portal, a one-stop destination for multiple sports, offers the Indian audience a platform to follow their favourite sports and sporting personalities.
