 | Visa is proud to be a global sponsor and partner of the Paralympic Games where it is the official payment service and the only card accepted. Visa’s partnership helps Paralympic athletes and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) fulfill their goals of increasing athlete participation, increasing awareness of the Paralympic Movement, and enabling Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence, which in turn, inspire and excite the world. Visa is proud that it was the first global sponsor of the IPC, encouraging and supporting the efforts of Paralympians through the work of the IPC and the sponsored NPCs. | | |
Our Paralympic sponsorship serves to extend Visa’s support of the Olympic Games by expanding its reach to approximately 500 million people with physical disabilities and their families worldwide with a message of empowerment and inclusion – values shared by Visa. Products and services that can be employed from their homes allow this community unparalleled access and freedom. The Paralympic sponsorship is an integral part of Visa’s Olympic commitment – Beijing 2008 is the fourth Paralympic Games sponsored by Visa. Our involvement through technology, expertise, products and personnel is fundamental to the staging of the Paralympic Games.
Visa also sponsors Paralympic athletes in 11 countries through its global Team Visa program. Visa empowers these remarkable athletes to realize their dreams and helps showcase their achievements worldwide by providing financial support, life skills training and valuable marketing exposure in pursuit of their Paralympic goals. Without this valuable support, many of these men and women would not be able to train and compete at these high international levels.
