Australian food company Patties Food Group will help fuel the nation’s Olympic heroes in Paris, and the supporters who cheer them on at home, as an official partner of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC).
The three-year partnership sees Patties Food Group’s famous Four’N Twenty become the official pie, and performance brand Fitness Outcomes become the official ready meal of the Australian Olympic Team.
Four’N Twenty pies and Fitness Outcomes meals will offer Australia’s Olympians a taste of home in the athletes’ village in Paris.
Patties Food Group Chief Executive Paul Hitchcock says the company was honoured to be associated with the AOC and the Olympic dreams of the nation’s best athletes.
“Our Olympians are working hard to take on the world in Paris and Patties Food Group is proud to be working beside them to enhance the Olympic experience for all who follow and are part of the Games,” Mr Hitchcock said.
“Four’N Twenty has been synonymous with sport and a football fan ritual for more than seven decades. It is so exciting for this iconic brand to now become a ritual of the ultimate sporting event, the Olympic Games.
“We’re so proud to give the Australian Olympic Team the chance to enjoy a little taste of home while representing their country on the other side of the world, and we know fans will love tucking into their Four’N Twenty pies as they watch all the action in Paris,” he said.
“We are also extremely proud to bring our Fitness Outcomes range to athletes and sports fans who value fuelling their body for peak performance.”
The AOC partnership is a natural progression for Patties Food Group, which has a longstanding commitment to supporting Australian sports and athletes from the grassroots up.
AOC Chief Executive Matt Carroll welcomed Patties Food Group’s support of the Australian Olympic Team as the clock counts down to the Paris Games in July and August.
“It’s fantastic that a beloved Australian company like Patties is getting behind our Aussie athletes as they take on the world’s best at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,” he said.
“Four’N Twenty has been feeding sporting fans across Australia for more than 75 years, and now Fitness Outcomes is there to fuel today’s and tomorrow’s athletes.
“We know the support of the Patties Food Group family will play a big part in the success of Australian Olympic Team in Paris in just a few short months, and we are proud to have them joining the AOC family. Thank you, Patties, we look forward to building a really special partnership over the next three years,” Mr Carroll said.
