CoSport extends Australian Olympic Committee partnership

CoSport Australia will continue to sponsor the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) for another 10 years after the firm’s parent company, Jet Set Sports, penned a deal to run through 2020.

Jet Set Sports, which operates in Australia as CoSport Australia, has provided corporate clients with hospitality packages at Olympic Games through its VIP Hospitality Programmes and Hospitality Management Services since 1984.

The company first teamed up with the AOC for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and CoSport will continue to act as a provider of event tickets and hospitality packages for the Games.

“Jet Set Sports/CoSport is a leading provider of hospitality packages and event ticketing, whose focus is the Olympic Games,” said AOC president John Coates. “They are incredibly good at what they do and are committed to the Olympic Movement. We are very grateful for their continued support of the AOC and Australia’s athletes for years to come.”

AOC secretary general and AOC team chief operating officer Craig Phillips added: “CoSport’s professional approach has enabled thousands of Australians to support the Australian Olympic team first hand which really helped with the team’s success in Beijing and Vancouver.”
