Our Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors play a vital role in our mission. The largest projects require influential figures—individuals with significant experience, strong networks, and a deep passion for the sport.
These ambassadors help bring visibility to our initiative, share their expertise, and actively participate in our events as the project unfolds. We are proud to have the following ambassadors supporting our journey:
