Polish representatives will continue to compete in outfits bearing the 4F logo. The Polish Athletics Association (PZLA) and OTCF S.A. have extended their agreement, under which the Polish brand remains the main sponsor of the federation. – We have signed an eight-year agreement, continuing a truly successful cooperation lasting over a decade – says Sebastian Chmara, Vice President of the Polish Athletics Association.
The cooperation between the Polish Athletics Association and the owner of the 4F brand has been ongoing since 2013. During this time, Polish athletes wearing 4F outfits have won nearly 300 medals at various events – from European Cadet Championships, through indoor European and World Championships, to the biggest events on the global sports calendar, including the Olympic Games. Thanks to the signed agreement, the cooperation between the federation and the apparel producer has been extended for another eight years, covering two Olympic cycles.
– We proudly announce the continuation of cooperation with the 4F brand. This shows how well our previous collaboration went and how efficiently the OTCF team met our needs. Both parties were very satisfied, which definitely eased the negotiations – says Sebastian Chmara, Vice President of the Polish Athletics Association.
In the 2024 season, the Polish athletics team will compete in 4F outfits, among others in Paris and during the European Championships in Rome. Fans will be able to purchase replicas of the official 4F team jerseys, fully manufactured in Poland and developed in close cooperation with PZLA.
– We have more than a decade of extremely successful cooperation behind us. We are glad that in the new contract our position has been elevated to the main sponsor of PZLA. This is thanks to the entire 4F team, as servicing a contract for such a large federation is a huge challenge. Extending the agreement for another 8 years is the best recommendation for the 4F apparel and accessories used by Polish athletes – says Igor Klaja, President of OTCF S.A. and founder of the 4F brand.
4F will continue to support projects run by PZLA, such as the “Athletics for Everyone” program, which has engaged nearly a million children and youth over the last 10 years, as well as providing equipment vouchers to local athletics associations.
– We secure a contract with PZLA for eight years. This is very important as it builds a sense of stability, including financial stability. It is also significant that Polish athletes will compete worldwide in outfits made by a domestic manufacturer who has always taken a very individual approach to the needs of the federation, athletes, and fans. This also demonstrates the patriotic dimension of this agreement – adds Tomasz Majewski, Vice President of the Polish Athletics Association.
