Allianz has today announced a three-year partnership with the Olympic Federation of Ireland that will span two games; the Olympic Winter Games taking place in 2022 and the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
It is an important deal for both sides with Allianz selecting Ireland to be one of its local partnership activations alongside its global partnership with the International Olympic Committee.
Today’s announcement mirrors the long-standing deal which Allianz has with Paralympics Ireland on the same basis.
The activation and impact which that deal has delivered for both sides has been exceptional and if it can be echoed at the Olympic level there will be an exciting three years ahead.
It is important from an Olympic Federation of Ireland perspective as Allianz’ Global deal meant that FBD Insurance would no longer be permitted to be a National Olympic sponsor.
“We’re incredibly proud to partner with the Olympic Federation of Ireland for what will be an exciting period for Irish sport as athletes prepare for the Olympic Winter Games taking place in 2022 and Paris 2024,” said Ursula Murphy, Chief Transformation Officer of Allianz Ireland.
“Our partnership with Paralympics Ireland over the past 10 years has been something everyone in Allianz is extremely proud of and through it, we have aimed to create visibility for and drive support of Para sport and the athletes involved.”
“We are delighted to build on that now through supporting all athletes and teamwork which ties in with our commitment to support future generations.”
“This partnership brings a local element to the work Allianz is doing globally via its partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, and we’re excited to work in tandem with the Olympic Federation of Ireland over the coming years to give Ireland the best opportunity for success in 2022, 2024 and beyond.”
“Allianz have a strong history of supporting sport and backing athletes, and we are looking forward to working together with them as we build towards the Winter Olympics in Beijing 2022 in less than four months, and the Summer Olympics in Paris 2024,” added Peter Sherrard, CEO of the Olympic Federation of Ireland.
It is great to see two strong partners of Sport for Business come together and we will be talking to both about what this will mean over the coming weeks.
