4F, the largest Polish sportswear brand owned by OTCF S.A., proudly summarizes ten years of partnership with the Polish Paralympic Committee. As the official sponsor, the company provided the Committee with dedicated clothing and sports accessories collections, in which Polish athletes competed during the last five editions of the Paralympic Games, winning a total of 64 medals.
Over the past decade, 4F has outfitted more than 200 Polish representatives, staff members, and the Paralympic family with over 380 sets of apparel (including outfits for official opening and closing ceremonies) and sports accessories, totaling more than 12,000 individual items. Poland’s leading sports brand supported Polish Paralympians at major international events. Polish para-athletes wore 4F gear during the last three editions of the Winter Paralympic Games (Sochi, PyeongChang, and Beijing) and two editions of the Summer Paralympics (Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo).
“The partnership between 4F and the Polish Paralympic Committee spans ten years of great emotions and inspiring moments, during which we had the opportunity to witness the talent, passion, and determination of Polish Paralympians up close. Their professionalism and commitment have been proven by the 64 medals won in the last five editions of the Paralympic Games. We are proud to have accompanied them on this journey and wish all para-athletes continued success,” said Igor Klaja, CEO of OTCF S.A., owner of the 4F brand.
The collections prepared by 4F for Polish Paralympians stand out due to their high-quality craftsmanship, technologies used, and distinctive design. Over half of the collections for the Tokyo and Beijing Paralympic Games were sewn in Polish factories, helping to reduce the carbon footprint associated with production. In the spirit of circular fashion, some items were made using post-consumer waste and recycled materials.
“The 4F outfits designed for Polish Paralympians were always perfectly tailored to the athletes’ needs. The entire Polish delegation wore them with pride. The dedicated designs, modern cuts, and advanced technologies allowed us to stand out among teams from all over the world,” said Łukasz Szeliga, President of the Polish Paralympic Committee.
“Representing Poland at the Paralympic Games with the white eagle on my chest has always been a great honor, and winning a medal for my country has been the fulfillment of my greatest dreams. My most cherished sports memories are tied to 4F as the partner of the Polish Paralympic Committee. I truly appreciate the design, high-quality breathable materials, and the way the collections were tailored to our needs,” added Maciej Lepiato, para-athlete, Paralympic high jump champion from Rio and London, and bronze medalist in Tokyo.
4F continues to build strong partnerships with major sports institutions in Poland and globally. The brand is a long-time sponsor of the Polish Ski Federation, Polish Biathlon Association, Polish Athletic Association, and several foreign Olympic and Paralympic Committees. It is also the Technical Partner of the Polish Basketball Association, three football clubs in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, all teams in the Orlen Basket League and Orlen Women’s Basket League, and the three-time CEV Champions League winner – Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle. Brand ambassadors include Anna and Robert Lewandowski and Bartosz Zmarzlik.
