In the thrilling race to host the 2027 World Rowing Championships, three cities have emerged as strong contenders: Lucerne in Switzerland, Varese in Italy, and Seville in Spain. The final decision will be made by the World Rowing Congress on Saturday, 16 November, in a virtual meeting. Among these candidates, Seville stands out not just for its historic charm and vibrant culture but also for the passionate and strategic support it has received from Athlete Plus.
When the city of Seville and Rowing in Andalucía faced challenges with the Regatta Sevilla-Betis, they turned to Athlete Plus for assistance. The CEO of Athlete Plus, Juanjo Marquez, recalls this pivotal moment: "When representatives of the city of Seville and Rowing in Andalucía asked us to help with the struggling Regatta Sevilla-Betis, very few believed Athlete Plus could bring the event live to national and international television. Later they dared our company to bring the World Championships of Rowing to Seville."
Athlete Plus has risen to the challenge, leveraging its expertise in sports marketing and event management to transform Seville's rowing scene. The company’s involvement has not only revitalized the Regatta Sevilla-Betis but has also laid a solid foundation for Seville's bid to host the World Rowing Championships.
