The Special Olympics World Winter Games 2025 kicks off this March, with Turin hosting the games from the 8th to the 15th. Coca‑Cola is a proud sponsor of the world’s largest inclusive sporting event. As a founding partner of the Special Olympics, we have been proud global sponsors since 1968.​

The Special Olympics World Winter Games is a truly international spectacle, with more than 1,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities participating in the games, representing over 100 different nations. The Games are spread over eight days, taking place at various venues, with thousands of spectators watching the athletes compete in multiple winter sports categories.​​

Coca‑Cola believes in helping to foster more inclusive societies, including through the power of sport, recognising the transformative impact of the Special Olympics International movement on athletes’ lives. Through its ongoing sponsorship, Coca‑Cola aims to support in breaking down barriers, bringing communities together, giving more people the opportunity to thrive, to be celebrated and to excel. ​

In the words of Special Olympics International: “The Special Olympics is a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community, where every single person is accepted and welcomed, regardless of ability or disability. We are helping to make the world a better, healthier, and more joyful place – one athlete, one volunteer, one family member at a time.”​​

For the athletes and their families, the experience opens doors to unimagined possibilities. The event is just as exciting for everybody involved, however. For volunteers, coaches, and other supporters from all parts of the world, the Games inspire hope and belief in a brighter future of global acceptance, understanding, and unity.​

Good luck everyone, we’re proud of you, and can’t wait to see you in action!
