Domestic SponsorshipIn addition to the funding and support offered by the Worldwide Olympic Partners, the Olympic Games Rio 2016 also benefited from a domestic sponsorship programme – managed by the Rio 2016 Organising Committee – which granted exclusive marketing rights within the host country to further help fund and stage the Games.Featuring seven domestic partners, 12 official supporters and 30 official suppliers, the programme enjoyed great success, raising significant funds to support the Games and providing the Rio 2016 Organising Committee with help and expertise for specific operational needs during the planning and staging of the Games.The following section outlines the contributions and support that the Rio 2016 domestic partners offered to help make the Games such a success.“Without the knowledge, support, flexibility and collaboration from our Marketing Partners, it would not have been possible to overcome the complex financial-political conditions and make the Olympic Games Rio 2016 a huge success.”Renato Ciuchini, Chief Commercial Officer, Rio 2016090 SPONSORSHIP
