Very little is known about the economic efforts that athletes must make to get to the Olympic Games. During the years leading up to the Olympics, athletes must be attending numerous world championships to achieve the marks they demand from the Olympics. During this time, the federations are not responsible for the expenses that they may have in transportation, food, residence or equipment. That is why athletes need sponsorship (or a lot of their own money) to cover expenses and be able to aspire to be in the next Olympic Games.
Sponsor an athlete is a cool project that looks for exactly this: help athletes financially so they can represent us.
Target: Olympic Games 2020
Companies that are thinking of supporting elite athletes will be able to choose between individual Olympic or Paralympic disciplines for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. The cost of sponsorship is €99 (+VAT) per year, something totally symbolic to support Spanish talent in sport.
It is no longer just the benefit in publicity, reputation or belonging to a business network that you can obtain with this sponsorship; you will also gain pride, happiness and feeling for your sponsored athlete. There is something money cannot buy: your values.
We are not lying to you, more and more companies are betting on this type of initiative, regardless of whether their sector is linked to sport or not. If you are a Spanish SME that faithfully believes in the elite sport, do not hesitate to support marathon runners, canoeists, triathletes, athletes, climbers, judokas, cyclists, etc.
