The Sponsors’ Club of the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 will help financial supporters gain in-depth knowledge of the Games as they promote their brands and products, an official of the Olympic Council of Asia said.

The club was established on Oct 18 and Hangzhou-based automaker Geely Holding Group was appointed the first rotating president company of the club. OCA Director General Husain Al-Musallam offered his congratulations on the establishment of the club through a video recording on the same day.

The club also has two official suppliers: Robam Appliances, a kitchen appliance maker, and Monalisa Group, a ceramic tile manufacturer.

Mao Genhong, deputy secretary-general of the Hangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee, hoped that members of the club will take advantage of the platform to jointly contribute to the success of the Games.

China Hangzhou 2022 is not only a sports event, but an excellent platform for enterprises to present themselves,” Mao said. “With the Sponsors’ Club, we hope to promote information sharing and cooperation among sponsors to build a new model for sports marketing and create a winwin situation.”

Echoing Mao, Geely’s president An Conghui said his company would grasp the opportunity to promote the cooperation among enterprises. He added that Geely will contribute to a smart Games with its technology and show the world the vigor of Chinese brands.

The Preface is expected to provide smart travel solutions for the Games during the next two years.
