Worlds Sponsors Announcement
We are excited to officially announce two of our sponsors for the 2024 Roundnet World Championship. The bid process for this event was much more competitive than in 2022 with multiple brands vying to be chosen for each category. The IRF Board thoroughly evaluated all of the bids and selected the strongest proposals. We are sincerely thankful for these brands' help in supporting and elevating the World Championship.
Equipment - Spikeball
Spikeball has been selected as the presenting sponsor (i.e. IRF 2024 Roundent World Championships presented by Spikeball) and the official equipment provider! Spikeball has been pioneering the sport of roundnet for the past fifteen years and has been committed to building a global community -- one they're excited to see competing at Worlds. We are thrilled to have their continued support of our organization and the sport as a whole. With this partnership, Worlds will be played on Spikeball Pro Sets and Spikeball Pro Balls.
Aside from donating all of the equipment and contributing financially to help fund the event, Spikeball will be providing other resources to amplify Worlds. The event will benefit from their experience, network, and staff that is helping us to create content, share stories, and drive massive awareness.
Building off of learnings from 2022, we will be collaborating with Spikeball and British Roundnet to establish processes for thorough quality assurance of all the equipment used at Worlds.
Jersey Sponsor - KBS
KBS has been selected as the official jersey sponsor of Worlds 2024! We are excited to add this category for 2024 as it will help contribute to the professionalism, branding, and aesthetics of the event.
KBS outfitted a few National Teams in 2022 and will now be making their high quality, affordable packages available more broadly. While each NGB is free to select their own jersey provider, we think the KBS offering will be a no-brainer. Plus, their deep knowledge of our standards will ensure that jersey guidelines are followed consistently.
Outside of providing jersey packages to NGBs, KBS will be contributing to the event by outfitting staff, observers, and creating event merch.
This is just the beginning…
While these are two major sponsorship categories, we hope to bring more sponsors on board in the coming months. In the next few weeks we'll be sharing more details around the event logistics, registration, and timelines. British Roundnet has been putting in a ton of work behind the scenes and we couldn't be more excited to have them as the host NGB.
