Qatar Airways has expanded its extensive
portfolio of sport sponsorships with the addition of the
Volleyball Federation of Russia (VFR).
VFR is the first Russian sports federation to
partner with the airline, ensuring the Qatar Airways’ logo is
displayed on all regional and international tournament uniforms,
as well as across all courtside spaces.
The two-year agreement also makes Qatar Airways
VFR’s Official Airline Partner.
Qatar Airways has sponsored the Volleyball Federation of Russia.
As part of the new partnership, events sponsored
by Qatar Airways include the women’s and men’s editions of the
Russian Volleyball Championships
and the women’s and men’s finals of the Russian Volleyball Cup
commencing in December 2021.
The VFR has a number of indoor and beach
volleyball tournaments lined up for both the men and women’s
categories in 2021/22.
All matches in 2021 will be played in Anapa,
one of Russia’s most popular resorts, and home to a world-class
sports and health complex – Volley Grade.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive,
Akbar
Al Baker, said, “We look forward to investing in the progress of
this increasingly popular sport and amplify our visibility in the
Russian market to cement our ever-growing Qatar-Russia ties. The
Volleyball Federation of Russia actively hosts a number of
international and regional volleyball events, which Qatar Airways
is excited to play a part in. We are confident that this
partnership will be a welcome addition to our extensive
partnership portfolio and support our vision of bringing people
together through the power of sports.”
The partnership with VFR coincides with the
airline moving its services to Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International
Airport (SVO), and the introduction of the famous Qsuite on the
route.
The daily service will be operated by the airline’s modern
Boeing 777-300 featuring 42 seats in Business Class and 312 seats
in Economy Class.
