Herbalife, a global nutrition company (NYSE: HLF), announced
today that the Vietnam Olympic Committee (VOC) has named Herbalife
Vietnam as the Official Nutrition Sponsor for Vietnamese athletes
bound for Rio 2016. The new agreement marks the continuation of
Herbalife’s nutrition sponsorship for Vietnam’s Olympic athletes,
as well as the company’s inaugural sponsorship of the country’s
Paralympic athletes.
As part of Herbalife’s continued support of sports nutrition and
performance in Vietnam, the agreement paves the way for Herbalife
to provide its wide range of nutrition products, sports nutrition
consulting and training to the athletes and coaches participating
at the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympic games.
In addition, Herbalife Vietnam signed a new five-year
sponsorship with Vietnam Sports Administration (VSA), making it the
Official Nutrition Sponsor of Vietnam Sports from 2017 to 2021. As
the Official Nutrition Sponsor, a role which Herbalife has enjoyed
since the London 2012 Olympics, Herbalife will provide apparel and
sports nutrition products to all Vietnamese teams and athletes
participating in international sports competitions. These include
three Southeast Asian (SEA) Games (2017, 2019, 2021), three ASEAN
Para Games (2017, 2019, 2021), the 2018 Asian Games, and the 2020
Summer Olympic Games.
“We are delighted to be named, once again, as the Official
Nutrition Sponsor for the Olympic-bound Vietnamese athletes. We are
incredibly proud of what the athletes have achieved in the past
five years, and are committed to doing more to support the growth
of sports nutrition and performance in the country. We are also
happy to be extending our support to the Vietnamese Paralympic
athletes for the first time, and hope that our nutrition advice and
training will give them an added edge going into the Rio 2016
competition,” said Stephen Conchie, vice president and general
manager, Herbalife Southeast Asia. “Herbalife has always been a
strong believer in the power of sport as it exemplifies the healthy
active lifestyle that we promote. With our renewed commitment as
Vietnam Sports’ Official Nutrition Sponsor, we are looking to
deepen our relationship further and help athletes and coaches
maximize the benefits of sports nutrition to achieve maximum
performance.”
