Aras Kargo expands its support for sports
across federations and clubs
Believing in the unifying power of sport, Aras Kargo has been supporting
Turkish sports in various fields at both the federation and club level for many
years. We are one of the sponsors of the women's national volleyball team,
which ranked first in the world in last year and the men's national volleyball
team, which has had great success this year, in collaboration with the Turkish
Volleyball Federation (TVF). We also sponsor the men's senior football team,
the national eSports team and the various football clubs in the country.
Last August, Aras Kargo warmly offered its
support to Atakaş Hatayspor, which was unable to continue playing in the league
due to the February earthquake, and collaborated with the club to further help
the club.
