When it comes to sports sponsorship in The Netherlands, what does your mind immediately go to – football, potentially, or maybe cycling?
As experts in all things motorsport, when we think about sports sponsorship in The Netherlands the first thing that we think about is MotoGP – specifically, The Netherlands’ MotoGP, which is one of the key races of the MotoGP calendar.
The ninth race of the 2021 MotoGP calendar is the Dutch offering, the Motul TT at Assen. It’s the 91st edition of the race, making it one of the most established – and therefore most anticipated – races of the MotoGP calendar. The Assen race boasts a long history, which spans the 20th Century, and that’s one of the reasons why the track is known as “the cathedral” – in fact, it’s the oldest MotoGP race in the world.
It’s also one of the biggest sporting events in the country, which means, of course, that it also presents a strong opportunity for sports sponsorship in The Netherlands to thrive – whether that’s through sponsorship, B2B opportunities, corporate hospitality, or something else entirely.
