OLYMPIC SPONSORSHIP








OLYMPIC SPONSORSHIP



Olympic Sponsorship is a relationship between the Olympic Movement and commercial organisations which is intended to generate support for the Olympic Movement and the Olympic Games.





Sponsorship contributes more than 40% of Olympic marketing revenue. Each level of sponsorship entitles companies to different marketing rights in various regions, category exclusivity and the use of designated Olympic images and marks.





The Olympic Movement works continually to protect the rights of sponsors.





The Olympic Partner Programme (TOP)

The worldwide Olympic Partner Programme is managed and negotiated by the International Olympic Committee. TOP Partner companies are multinational organisations which are able to provide direct support, sponsor services or expertise for the staging of the games. In addition, these Partners support National Olympic Committees. Agreements are based on a quadrennium structure and therefore require a minimum of four years commitment.
