Dear Kumarkana,
you are selected good field because sports manager is a important job and very less indian are doing expertise in sports management. Specially after india purchased cricket the scope in this field will be great in future.
i am dont know about the best mba in sports facilities but university of cape town is giving post graduate dipolma in sports managements. also IE business school which is located in spain also giving masters in sport managements. if you are willing to go to the United States of America than university of massachutes also give masters in sport managements program. plesae feel free to ask if you have any more queries.

The best MBA programs in sports management tend to be in the US: SDSU and USF, specifically.
In the UK the only accredited MBA program in sports that I am aware of is Loughborough's International Sports Management MBA.
However, as has been discussed previously on this message board, the effectiveness of using an MBA - or pretty much any other educational qualification - to land a job in a sports club, is at the best questionable. Ask the schools directly about expected career outcomes for these programs.

Another option is to do a general MBA program at the best school you can get into, and do an internship with a sports club during the program. I don't know if a specialization in sports would add that much value when you are looking for jobs in the field; rather, a ranked MBA from a school with strong career services might be even better. Plus, this keeps your post-MBA career options open, since sports isn't the easiest of fields to break into. :)
