The Ostrava 2011 Organising Committee has agreed a deal with the “Auto Heller” car dealer – the exclusive distributor of SEAT cars in the Czech Republic – to become the first official partner of next year’s European Athletics U23 Championships.
Auto Heller will provide 10 official cars from SEAT for use during the championships.
Ostrava 2011 Event Operation Director Mr. Oldrich Zvolanek said, “I truly believe that with such a strong partner we will work out any difficulty connected to transportation at the championships.
“When we organise events of such importance, there are always many tricky tasks for us to resolve and by signing this particular contract we have turned words into action.”
Auto Heller Financial Manager Mr. Jiri Sebesta said the final negotiations with Ostrava 2011 went smoothly: “Due to the fact that our company has been long supporting young sportsmen and also cooperating with Czech Athletics, this contract complemented our sports strategy very well.”
A SEAT Exeo car has already been provided for use by the organising committee, with the rest of the cars operating at the championships through 14-17 July 2011.
