Now one of the biggest stadium networks in the world, it began with the Allianz Arena in 2005. Today, these venues collectively welcome around 10 million visitors every year.“For the first time, two of Allianz’s major sports initiatives – the Allianz Family of Stadiums and our Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic partnership – come together in one venue that proudly bears the Allianz name. Beach Volleyball broke attendance records at Olympic Games Paris 2024, and having the Allianz name on its arena at the LA28 Games is a unique way to bring our brand closer to fans and strengthen our visibility as a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner,” said Eike Bürgel, Global Head of Olympic and Paralympic Program at Allianz. The Allianz Riviera in Nice hosted six football matches under a neutral name during Paris 2024. At the LA28 Games, the Allianz Beach Arena becomes the first Olympic venue to display the Allianz name. LA28 is making history as the first Olympic and Paralympic Games to offer naming rights at competition venues, creating new commercial opportunities that directly support the staging of the Games.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Allianz is also launching its LA28 Games “custom A” emblem.

Building on 20 years of partnership with the Paralympic Movement, Allianz has been a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner since 2021 and will continue to support the Games through 2032.
