WORLDWIDE PARALYMPIC PARTNER 

Allianz’s journey with the Paralympic Movement began in 2006, with the insurer soon becoming the International Paralympic Committee’s (IPC) first International Partner in 2011.

At the start of 2021, Allianz became the Worldwide Insurance Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements. Through the partnership, Allianz will continue to get behind the hopes, challenges and needs of the Para athlete community through insurance solutions and services, mentoring, career opportunities and health activities.

This includes hiring athletes such as Djamal Hamache, the former captain of the Algerian wheelchair basketball team, and supporting a team of more than 70 Olympians, Paralympians and hopefuls across more than 20 countries as brand ambassadors. Additionally, its Athlete Buddy Program give employees in various markets the chance to be mentored by an athlete, and athletes the chance to prepare for life after competition.

Together with its local markets, Allianz continues to develop creative ways to tell athletes’ stories and introduce Para sport to a global audience. Watch the teaser for our award-winning podcast with the IPC, A Winning Mindset, above.
