4F, a brand owned by OTCF S.A. and the largest Polish manufacturer of sportswear and accessories, proudly summarizes 14 years of collaboration with the Polish Olympic Committee. As the official sponsor of the Polish Olympic team, the company has designed and delivered dedicated collections for seven consecutive Olympic Games, during which Polish athletes won a total of 50 medals.
The partnership between 4F and the Polish Olympic Committee began in 2009. The OTCF team created and supplied custom-designed apparel and accessories for the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver 2010, Sochi 2014, PyeongChang 2018, Beijing 2022, as well as for the Summer Olympics in London 2012, Rio de Janeiro 2016, and Tokyo 2020. 4F also prepared collections for Polish teams participating in the European Youth Olympic Festivals, Youth Olympic Games, and European Games.
A Remarkable Collaboration
Over the past 14 years, 4F has outfitted more than 3,700 Polish athletes, staff members, and Olympic family members. A total of 30 sports events under the auspices of the Polish Olympic Committee took place. The company delivered an impressive 140,000 pieces of sportswear and accessories to the Polish national team. A total of 897 Olympic team members competed in 4F gear across seven Olympic Games—and 50 Polish athletes reached the Olympic podium.
“Just like Polish Olympians prepared to compete at the highest level, the 4F team invested around two years of careful planning, design, and creativity for each Olympic collection. We established a new standard of dedicated Olympic Collections, and our mission became to make each one better than the last. For the last two Games, the collections were made using cutting-edge, ultra-light materials, with thoughtful designs incorporating national themes and symbols of the host countries. I am incredibly proud of our team for these achievements,”
emphasizes Igor Klaja, President of OTCF S.A.
More than half of the Olympic collections for the Tokyo and Beijing Games were produced in Polish sewing facilities, helping to reduce the carbon footprint associated with production. Additionally, some garments were made from post-consumer waste and recycled materials.
A Member of the Olympic Family and Longstanding Partner of Polish Sport
4F continues to be a member of the Olympic family, sponsoring national Olympic committees of Latvia, Croatia, Greece, and Slovakia for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games. During the last two Olympic Games, athletes from nine countries competed wearing 4F apparel.
The brand also remains a strong supporter of Polish sports, working with organizations such as the Polish Basketball Association, Polish Ski Association, Polish Biathlon Association, Polish Athletics Association, top-tier football clubs of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, all teams in the Orlen Basket League and Orlen Women’s Basketball League, as well as Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle, three-time CEV Champions League winners in volleyball.
Among 4F’s ambassadors are global sports icons such as Anna and Robert Lewandowski and Bartosz Zmarzlik.
“Our partnership with the Polish Olympic Committee has been a great honor for 4F. It brought us immense joy from the national team’s successes, helped us evolve our products and technologies, and significantly supported 4F’s international expansion. Today, our products are available in 44 countries across five continents. Looking ahead, we’re excited about continuing our sports collaborations both in Poland and abroad,” - concludes Igor Klaja.
