Sporting and Iguarivarius extend already existing links

Sporting Clube de Portugal and the IGV/Iguarivarius group have renewed their partnership with the singing of a memorandum of understanding designed to support the Club’s Olympic sports and the sponsorship of Alvalade’s judo department.

Mário Lino, president of the Iguarivarius group, was evidently happy with the agreement: “The support is part of one of our company’s activities, namely our link to the idea of social responsibility. Sporting is a huge club nationally, in Europe and around the world, with a lot of trophies won in judo. Our biggest shareholder and executive president was also a national champion in this sport and it is an honour to be with Sporting.”

Vicente Moura, Sporting’s vice-president for sport, highlighted the importance of the protocol: “This is a partnership that has been underway for practically two years now and it has been very important. It is a constant support for Portuguese judo, with financing for international competitions. It has enabled us to reach important national and international levels.”
