TCL Unveils Its European Sports Ambassadors for the 2026 Winter Olympics
On October 18, 2025, in Paris, global electronics leader TCL announced its all-star lineup for Team TCL EU, a group of the most renowned winter athletes in Europe who will serve as official brand ambassadors in the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. This initiative strengthens TCL's commitment to the Olympic Movement, building on its long-term partnership with the International Olympic Committee, established in February 2025, which extends to 2032 and encompasses various home entertainment and appliance categories.
TCL’s motto, "Inspire Greatness," perfectly encapsulates the brand’s mission to connect technology with Olympic values, fostering a strong emotional bond with fans as the world looks toward the exhilarating events of the 2026 Winter Games.
Team TCL is a remarkable representation of both the Olympic spirit and TCL’s commitment to innovation, featuring impressive athletes such as alpine skiers Alex Vinatzer and Christof Innerhofer from Italy, Olympic slalom champion Clément Noël from France, Swedish cross-country stars Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, and Jonna Sundling, as well as Dutch speed skating champion Joy Beune.
These athletes consistently push boundaries, excelling in their competitive domains while embodying the essence of Team TCL. They signify the pursuit of the impossible, uniting trailblazers ready to break barriers and inspire greatness in others. Empowered by an unwavering commitment to innovation, TCL aims not only to help these athletes reach new heights but also to encourage everyone to chase their passions and uncover new realms of possibility.
This ambitious vision reflects TCL's growing influence both globally and within Europe. During the first half of 2025, TCL maintained its position as the world leader in Mini LED television shipments, reporting an extraordinary 176% growth. In addition to televisions, TCL’s appliances are redefining comfort in modern living through advanced functionalities across product categories. Notably, the TCL Fresh Air series secured the top global sales position for air conditioners in 2024, according to independent research firm SHANGPU GROUP, while the brand's flagship air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines continue to promote a healthier, more efficient lifestyle.
