TCL Unveils Team TCL EU Sporting Ambassadors for Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026

Celebrating Sport, Innovation and Olympic Spirit with Europe's Elite Athletes

PARIS, Oct. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics and a Worldwide Olympic Partner, today unveils Team TCL EU, bringing together some of Europe's most celebrated winter sports athletes as official sporting ambassadors. This initiative builds on TCL's long-term partnership with the International Olympic Committee, announced in February 2025, which runs through 2032 and covers the Home Audiovisual Equipment and Home Appliances categories. Guided by its vision to Inspire Greatness, TCL is combining technology and Olympic values to create powerful connections with fans ahead of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.

Team TCL reflects how the Olympic spirit aligns with TCL's drive for innovation, uniting some of Europe's most accomplished winter sports athletes: alpine skiers Alex Vinatzer and Christof Innerhofer from Italy; Olympic slalom gold medalist Clément Noël from France; Swedish cross-country champions Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, and Jonna Sundling; and Dutch speed skating star Joy Beune.

From athletes who constantly raise the bar both on and off the field, to people who bravely push boundaries in their daily lives, and TCL products that surpass the imagination through technology – all are part of Team TCL. It embodies the extraordinary, comprised of trailblazers who dare to go beyond limits and embrace the spirit of Inspire Greatness. Driven by a relentless commitment to innovate, TCL doesn't just enable athletes to rise to new heights – it empowers everyone to pursue their passions and shape the next chapter of what can be achieved.

This ambition reflects TCL's expanding global and European strength. In the first half of 2025, TCL maintained its position as the global No. 1 Mini LED TV brand, achieving a 176% surge in shipments. Beyond TVs, TCL's home appliances are redefining modern living with cutting-edge features across multiple categories. Notably, the TCL Fresh Air AC ranked No. 1 globally in sales*, while its flagship air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines continue to deliver smarter, healthier lifestyles to consumers around the globe.
