Today, at the Super Konzum store in Zagreb's Dankovečka Street,
Josip Grgić, Konzum's Marketing Director, and Arlen Brozić,
Corporate Affairs Director at Istraturist, which operates as part
of the Luksic Group Croatia, signed a general sponsorship
agreement. Croatia's leading retail chain, which operates as part
of the Agrokor concern, has thus become the new title sponsor of
the country's oldest ATP tournament. This year the Umag-based
tournament, now titled Konzum Croatia Open Umag,
will take place for the 26th time, from July 17 until July
26.
"ATP Umag is one of the most important sporting and social
events in Croatia. Over the years it has grown into one of the most
popular ATP series tournaments. This tournament is also greatly
significant for the promotion of Croatia and Croatia's sports
around the world and thus deserves our attention and support.
Konzum continuously supports the Croatian sports, that is, clubs,
national teams and sporting events, having recognized the value and
significance of sports in the society. Thus, for a number of years
now, we have been supporting the ATP tournament in Umag, and this
year it is our great honor and pleasure to accept the general
sponsorship of this great sporting event. I am confident that with
the new owner the tournament will be even better and more
attractive, delight tennis fans and Umag's domestic and foreign
visitors, and send beautiful images from Croatia into the
world," Josip Grgić, Konzum's Marketing
Director, said.
Arlen Brozić, Corporate Affairs Director at
Istraturist, stated the following: "The tradition and
the importance of the Umag-based tournament for the promotion of
the Croatian tourism around the world inspire us to continue
developing it. Selecting Konzum as the title sponsor marks the
continuation of Istraturist's excellent cooperation with the
Agrokor concern, whose support will contribute to the strengthening
of Umag's tournament. Already this year the tournament will offer
more events and be more attractive to the spectators. I would like
to take this opportunity to highlight an exhibition match starring
the King of Umag, Carlos Moya, who will once again play in in the
tournament."
Alongside Konzum, the tournament has, through sponsorship, been
supported by Agrokor's other companies, namely Jamnica, PIK
Vrbovec, Ledo, Zvijezda and Agrolaguna.
