Spar Scotland has been unveiled as an Official Event Supporter of the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships, which takes place in Glasgow for the first time from 1-3 March 2024.
The event will involve six sessions of action-packed sport over three days of intense competition in the Emirates Arena, with many of the best athletes in the world competing for prestigious World Indoor titles. More than 700 competitors from around 130 countries are expected to take part, competing in 26 events – 13 for men and 13 for women.
The Championships fall within the qualification period for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with athletes competing for one of the 78 medals being awarded and the opportunity to hone their preparations for the Games.
Colin McLean, Chief Executive of Spar Scotland, said: “As one of the biggest and highest profile events in the sporting calendar to be held in Scotland next year, Spar Scotland is thrilled to be announced as one of the Official Event Supporters of the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships.
“Spar is already synonymous with athletics across the globe and through our support locally as Spar Scotland, we hope millions of consumers will watch the televised broadcasts and see our global brand supporting this high-profile sporting event.“
Spar Scotland will also provide products, including sandwiches, yogurt, fruit, and nutrition bars, to help fuel the hundreds of volunteers and staff who will be working at the event over the three days. In addition, drinks for other client groups will be provided by the convenience retailer and wholesaler.
