IOC, Allianz extend TOP partnership through 2032

Lausanne, Mar 13 (UNI) The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and global insurance leader Allianz announced Thursday a four-year extension of their Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic

(TOP) Partnership until 2032.

The renewed agreement secures the insurer's support for future editions, including French Alps 2030 and Brisbane 2032, reinforcing its global role in safeguarding athletes, organizers and spectators across the Olympic and Paralympic movements.

"We are delighted that, following the success of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, we will extend our partnership with Allianz for another four years," said IOC president Thomas Bach.

"Allianz is a world leader in its industry and believes in the Olympic vision of building a better world through sport, and supports our commitment to athletes around the world," he added.

Since 2021, Allianz has backed the preparation and delivery of the Paris 2024, Milano Cortina 2026 and LA 2028, while having partnered with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) since 2006, prior to its elevation as a Worldwide Paralympic Partner in 2021.
