Longines signs long-term title partnership of FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping and extends global agreement as FEI Top Partner |
|
Gothenburg, Sweden, 28 August, 2017 (APA/OTS) - Longines will become title partner of the FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping series as part of a long-term agreement with the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), with the new partnership being celebrated at next month's Final in Barcelona. Longines, which became the FEI's first Top Partner in 2013, has also extended its global partnership with the FEI in a historic agreement signed in Gothenburg (SWE) today. |
The landmark agreement, which was brokered by FEI President Ingmar
De Vos and Longines Vice President and Head of International
Marketing Juan-Carlos Capelli, is the most significant in the
history of the FEI.
The initial long-term partnership between the global governing body
of equestrian sport and the Swiss watch brand has another five years
to run, but under the terms of the new agreement, the global
partnership has now been extended.
In the year of the brand's 185th birthday, Longines will also be
title partner of the 2017 FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping Final at the Real
Club de Polo de Barcelona (ESP), the iconic venue for the Olympic
equestrian events at the Barcelona Games 25 years ago.
Next month's Final will be renamed the Longines FEI Nations Cup™
Jumping Final and the series, starting from 2018, will be known as
the Longines FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping.
Also included in the extended global agreement are Longines'
continued role as FEI Top Partner, and title partnership of the
Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Western European League. Longines
also remains Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the FEI and
Official Timekeeper of the FEI World Equestrian Games™.
Additionally, Longines will continue to invest in the development
of cutting-edge time-keeping and data-handling services and related
technology, together with the FEI, specifically for equestrian sport.
"This new and extended agreement with Longines is the most
significant in the history of the FEI and possibly even in the
history of equestrian sport", FEI President Ingmar De Vos said. "It
doesn't just secure the long-term future of our flagship team
series, the FEI Nations Cup, it provides the whole industry with a
previously unseen level of support.
"We are so grateful for what Longines does for the equestrian world
and the trust that they place in the FEI as a partner. It's a
logical extension of the existing very successful partnership and I
know I speak for the entire equestrian community when I express my
gratitude to Longines, and particularly to Mrs Nayla Hayek, Mr
Walter von Känel and Mr Juan-Carlos Capelli, for their unwavering
support of our sport."
Juan-Carlos Capelli, Longines Vice President and Head of
International Marketing said: "We are really proud of the strong
partnership we have established with the FEI since 2013, which has
made Longines a major player in this field. Since then the brand has
further reinforced its association with this prestigious institution
through events and series taking place all across the globe, and
today, in becoming the Title Partner of the Longines FEI Nations Cup
Jumping."
"We would like to thank the President of the FEI, Mr Ingmar de Vos,
as well as his team for having made this new agreement possible and
we already look forward to the great Final in Barcelona, which will
mark our first prominent presence at a newly-named Longines FEI
Nations Cup Jumping competition."
