Thank you for this. I can recommend your services to anyone, especially for your flexibility to help with any special needs and your positive and polite approach at any time.

Mara Xenou is an absolute professional in her work and relationships with many prestigeous International organisations and Companies. Involved in supporting many clients for Olympic Games and FIFA World Cups, primarily in accommodation, ground services and travel, Mara provides a really friendly but high level of service to her many clients., world wide. Its a pleasure to work with Mara Xenou.

Mara has worked for us on our last Olympic Projects (Athens and Beijing). Her work is very professional, she is trustworthy and reliable. She is always on top of things and it makes our job easier on different regions of the planet. We will probably work together again in the future due to the results she has brought to us.

“MX Sports , is a proven expert at delivering logistics needs for TV Broadcasters, production companies and any corporation at all planning major operations at the world’s biggest sporting events, focusing on World Cups and Olympic Games. Accommodations and transportation are often overlooked details, which can contribute to the overall success of a television production. MX Sports deliver top quality properties and services which allow you to focus on the work at hand.”

I first met Mara in 2007, in a meeting in Beijing, and we have been together in all our accomodation needs for big coverages since then. We worked with her in 2008 Olympics, 2010 World Cup and will do the same in London 2012. She is commited with her clients since the first contact and also – as a plus – is a great company too. I recommend Mara to any company looking for excelent services in accomodation and hospitality in big coverages – there will be no regrets!

I have been working frequently with Mara Xenou since Athens 2004 Olympic Games and Beijing 2008 and South Africa 2010. I can trust her commitment for the clients satisfaction from the very beginning of the projects until the end. I strongly recommend MX Sports to any company that requires a complete solution on accommodation and hospitality services during big events like Olympics and World Cups.

We highly recommend Mara and the whole MX Sports team. We worked together in the Athens Games and we had great results, high integrity, creativity and good value. Definitely an expert team”

Mara provided outstanding off-site housing service to several of our Olympic sports for the past two Olympic Games. Her outstanding work ethic was evident in the superlative research she did to provide us a full range of options. The result was providing our sport teams with ideal housing situations that positively contributed to their performance success at the Games.

“I along with my colleagues from ESPN Brazil worked with Mara in South Africa for our coverage of the World Cup of Soccer 2010. Mara worked diligently with her numerous contacts to provide housing and production location options to us. We worked together on choosing locations during December of 2009. And then again on coverage of the matches May/June of 2010. Mara is a great person to work with. She is pleasant, resourceful and has many connections globally. It was a great experience. My colleagues at ESPN Brazil told me that they have worked with Mara on numerous events around the world and always had a great experience.”
Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

“World Cups, Olympics, other major sports events… MX Sports will be there – way beforehand – smoothing everything from accommodation and transportation arrangements to sorting out other logistical problems. And they will always recommend the best place to have dinner!”

“We can always count on MX Sports for the best arrangements even under the most difficult situations. MX Sports has provided us with great solutions on logistics in major events and we are happy to count on this excellent professionalism. We highly recommend MX Sports!”

“Mara has evolved MX Sports into a highly professional operation over the years. She has been instrumental in sourcing accommodation and workspace not only for us but for a host of other broadcasters at pretty much every major sporting event I have been involved in over the past decade. Her attention to detail and hands on approach to solving her clients’ accommodation issues in places where everything is usually either booked up well ahead of time or hideously expensive is second to none. I know she makes it look easy, but believe me there’s a lot of background work and research that goes into this and MX Sports is, in my opinion one of the leading lights in this niche market.
I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert

MX Sports and Mara were hired by TV Record, Brazilian Broadcast, to take care of the logistics during the station’s coverage of World Cup 2010. Despite the difficulties encountered in South Africa, Mara was able to provide satisfactory solutions to our needs.

I had the pleasure of working with Mara during the South Africa World Cup and can attest to her professionalism and dedication to all her customers. She took the time to understand our needs and finds solutions that worked for us. No matter what the challenge Mara was able get results. I look forward to working wiht her during the 2012 Olympics.

I was referred to Mara and her company MX Sports & Events through a mutual customer during the early phases of our planning for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. As those who were involved in this sporting spectacular can attest, the behind the scenes logistics; planning for housing, transport and ancillary services, posed challenges far greater then the planning for the broadcast requirements. From our first contact with Mara all the way through the final farewells in mid-July, she and her team were the consummate professionals. The housing they arranged on our behalf met all expectations; was secure, well kept and in move-in condition upon our arrivals. Her team met our staff at the airport over the course of the event, helped resolve logistics issues small and large and most importantly, treated our group more like friends or family then clients. The highest recommendation I can provide for Mara and the team at MX Sports & Events … We look forward to working with them in the future as we prepare for the next round of major events!
