WestLotto has been announced as the official partner of the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games.
For the largest international multi-sport event of the year Rhine-Ruhr 2025 and the state lottery company of North Rhine-Westphalia have agreed on a wide-ranging cooperation with a focus on the volunteer programme.
WestLotto is the largest sports sponsor in NRW and has been a strong supporter of volunteering in all areas of society for many years.
WestLotto will be present as a sponsor throughout the entire event from 16 to 27 July, offering interactive experiences for fans on site.
The company will also be represented with its logo on the volunteer uniforms, demonstrating its special commitment to the approximately 12,000 volunteers who will be active in the six host cities of Rhine-Ruhr 2025.
The volunteers will be active in all areas of the event and will, for example, support the spectators on their journey to the event and during their visits to the sports venues.
Only with the support of the volunteers is it possible for the FISU World University Games to be a great success this summer.
“Major sporting events and North Rhine-Westphalia go hand in hand. But they are only possible thanks to the help of thousands of volunteers. As a partner of the volunteers, we want to support this invaluable commitment and make it visible at the World University Games,” says WestLotto Managing Director Andreas Kötter.
“We are delighted to have WestLotto as an official partner at our side. With its special commitment to sport and volunteering in NRW, the company brings a great deal of expertise to the partnership, from which we will benefit enormously ,” says Niklas Börger, CEO Rhine-Ruhr 2025.
“This gives all fans and especially the volunteers even more reason to look forward to the FISU World University Games this summer.’
Mirjam Scheffler, Senior Manager Volunteers & Uniform, adds: ‘Volunteering is at the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games.
“WestLotto’s support enables us to offer the thousands of volunteers the appreciation and framework they deserve. Together, we are sending out a strong signal in favour of volunteering.”
The partnership will be brought to life for the first time at the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 Volunteer Kick-Off in May – with the presentation of the volunteer uniform and the joint welcome of the many volunteers in Essen.
