German term or phrase: Raum rund um den Sport (catchy phrase)
This is the title of a marketing brochure:

Raum rund um den Sport
ABC Systemlösungen: "Eine olympiareife Leistung"
-VIP-Gebäude
-Kassenhäuschen
-Verkaufspavillons für Souvenirs
-Umkleide-, Sanitär- und Massageräume
-Kleinrestaurants und Kioske

ABC
Ihr Spezialist
für Raumsysteme

------------------
Das seit Jahren bewährte ABC "Sportraumprogramm" schafft beste Voraussetzungen für Spitzensport und hochkarätige Sportveranstaltungen.
Die ausgereiften Systemlösungen überzeugen durch modernes, ansprechendes Design, Funktionalität, Stabilität, hochwertige Materialien und ein optimales Preis-Leitungsverhältnis, das Event-Veranstalter, Vereine und Kommunen die Entschleidung gleichermaßen erleichtert.

...


For "eine olympiareife Leistung" I have come up with "A Gold Medal Performance," which I am marginally satisfied with, but I am having the most trouble with "Raum rund um den Sport." All I can think of is "Rooms for the Wide World of Sports" and I'm not sure I like it very much.

Any good ideas, anyone?

Explanation:
I looked up translations for 'Raum' and instantly liked 'zone' for your context.
This is what I would call it.

The Wide World of Sports


Explanation:
From your context, I think this is referring to the American TV network ABC's long-running sports program "The Wide World of Sports"

Oops, I guess you just are meaning this as a catchy phrase and not referring to a specific TV program or the like. But it is catchy, I think.

As for olympiareife Leistung, how about \"an achievement fit for the Olympics\"?

Sportswide facilities


Explanation:
or: Modular spaces for sport in all places

or: Sportswide spaces

or: Sportside facilities
Maybe Sportraumprogramm could be "Sportside range"

I think the idea is to stress the versatility of these modular systems i.e. they're rooms with virtually unlimited functions

agree  Evi Wollinger: My husband came up with 'portable modular facilities for sporting events (or spectacles). He is in the 'sporting business', by the way.
