October 6, 2017
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and Table Tennis Canada have announced Canadian brand Polar Naturals as the Official Health Care Product & Presenting Sponsor of the Uncle Pop 2017 ITTF Women’s World Cup to be held from 27 – 29 October 2017 in Markham, Canada.
Table Tennis Canada CEO Tony Kiesenhofer said of the deal: “Table Tennis Canada welcomes Polar Naturals to the Uncle Pop 2017 ITTF Women’s World Cup. As the exclusive ‘presented by’ and the Official Health Care Product sponsor, Polar Naturals will play a crucial role to make the event in Markham a success.”
“We understand that Polar Naturals has plans to expand its market in Asia – the extensive media and TV coverage of the Women’s World Cup in Asia will be a useful tool in this strategy. We are excited to have Polar naturals on board and will work hard to make the event a success for Polar Naturals and for our other sponsors.”
Wynn Xie, Managing Director of Polar Naturals, added: “We are proud to sponsor in an event such as the World Cup, especially since we (Canada) represent the hosting country for 2017. As this is only the third time that the World Cup has been held outside of Asia, we believe that the opportunity to support the ITTF Women’s World Cup will increase the exposure for this sport and these exceptional athletes.”
ITTF Head of Sponsorship Kimberly Koh, said: “We are excited to welcome Polar Naturals on board for one of our most prestigious events on the ITTF calendar. North America is a big market for the ITTF, and with the success of the Seamaster 2016 Women’s World Cup in Philadelphia (USA) last year that was watched by over 45 million viewers on TV, we look forward to working with Table Tennis Canada and Polar Naturals to present another great event for our spectators and table tennis fans all around the globe.”
