With three months to go until the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, Commonwealth Games Australia is excited to announce Harvey Norman, Australia’s premier technology, home and lifestyle retailer as an Official Partner of the 2022 Australian Commonwealth Games Team.

Commonwealth Games Australia CEO Craig Phillips AM said he was thrilled to welcome a giant of the Australian retail landscape to the Commonwealth Games Australia partnership program for Birmingham.

“Harvey Norman is a proud Australian business that has a long history of supporting Australian sports and athletes, along with the communities that their extensive store network reaches,” Mr Phillips said.

“Harvey Norman’s support of the 2022 Australian Commonwealth Games Team helps us prepare and send a team of 425 athletes across 21 sports, plus another 250 officials, to the Games in Birmingham.”

Australia will be represented at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games by an expected team of 425 athletes competing in all sports on the Birmingham program, across 136 medal events for women, 134 for men and 13 mixed events.

Birmingham will be the first time more medals will be on offer for women than men.

The Commonwealth Games also has fully integrated events for Para-sport athletes, competing in eight sports.

Harvey Norman Chief Executive Officer Katie Page said it was an exciting time for Harvey Norman to partner with Commonwealth Games Australia and support Australian athletes on the international stage.

“Three months from now over 450 Australian athletes will realise their dream of representing their country at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Whether they are part of a team sport or they compete individually, years of dedication and sacrifice will come to fruition,” Page said.

“Harvey Norman is there to recognise their hard work as individuals and to celebrate that together they make history as the 2022 Australian Commonwealth Games Team.”

Harvey Norman brand ambassador Ariarne Titmus OAM has her sights set on the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

“I’m delighted that Harvey Norman has come on board to support the Commonwealth Games Team. They have been a great support for me, and I’m very much looking forward to what is shaping up to being an exciting Commonwealth Games for Australia,” Titmus said.

The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will take place from 28 July to 8 August 2022.
