A landmark social impact programme will also be delivered across the UK, tackling inactivity, improving mental wellbeing, boosting economic growth and supporting communities to thrive.

This is a high-profile opportunity to support the successful delivery of one of the biggest free-to-watch sporting events ever staged in the UK, while helping to shape outstanding audience experience, operational resilience and long-term legacy.
