Swiss Volley and la Mobilière extend partnership for another four years
News from the National Federations
Bern, Switzerland, October 26, 2020. Swiss Volley and la Mobilière have extended their long-lasting partnership for another four years. This is great news for Swiss Volley as well as for all Swiss Volleyball clubs taking into account the current circumstances and the many (financial) constraints resulting from the global pandemic.
The novel coronavirus has had a very negative impact on the finances of many sports clubs across Europe. Earlier this year, following the outbreak of the pandemic, Swiss Volley decided to cancel the late and most exciting stages of the national league – and the Swiss national cup finals could not go ahead either. The current climate of uncertainty does obviously reflect on the activities and plans of the Swiss Volleyball family as well.
During this difficult time, la Mobilière remains a reliable partner for Swiss Volley and their clubs – extending their support for as many as four indoor sports – i.e. Volleyball, handball, basketball and floorball – for another four years.
La Mobilière has been the main sponsor and partner for these sports for seven years already. “The indoor sports clubs are spread throughout Switzerland and in all language regions - just like our 80 general agencies,” says Michèle Rodoni, Head of Market Management. “I am proud of this commitment and I am pleased that we will continue to actively support grassroots and elite sport in the future.”
Werner Augsburger, CEO at Swiss Volley, is also delighted with the contract extension: “With la Mobilière and their broad commitment, we are setting an example for continuity, which is extremely valuable especially in these special circumstances. With la Mobilière, the clubs have a long-term partner at their side, whom they can rely on even in such difficult times.”
