Fired Up: LA28 Sprints Towards Olympic Gold with Honda Partnership

Turn up the heat! Honda's sponsorship deal is reigniting LA28's fire! The Japanese powerhouse has joined forces with LA28's organizing committee and Team USA as a founding partner, marking LA28's first major multiyear deal since 2021’s Salesforce partnership.

With Honda on board, this automotive giant has taken LA28 one step closer to its corporate sponsorship goal of $2.5 billion. Now, with the Winter Games just around the corner, optimism is surging!

LA28's highest-tier deals are known as founding partnerships. Honda now joins the elite crew, which already comprises partners like Delta and media partner Comcast. The terms of the Honda agreement? Top secret for now, but what's clear is that Honda's cash influx brings breathing room for reaching the goal.

California, the prime auto market of the nation, is elated about this new partnership. LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman confirms this, stating, "This is a really important category, especially in this market." Toyota, previously a significant player in the auto game, opted out after the 2024 Olympics, creating scope for new players like Honda.

As LA28 targets $2 billion in corporate revenue by year-end, the Games are in a pivotal phase. With $5.1 billion already secured from various sources, reaching that target seems achievable, thanks to partners like Honda. Wasserman revealed there are "two or three" more significant sponsorship announcements on the horizon. The car market is buzzing, and LA28 is cashing in!

But remember, smaller deals can just as well make a difference in the grand scheme. Paris, for instance, nabbed about 40% of its sponsorship revenue in the last 18 months, illustrating that every penny counts. LA28 is showing no signs of slowing down, and we're all rooting for a grand Olympic slam!
