Haier Invites Youth Tennis and Fans to Experience the Roland-Garros 2026 with Engaging Events
Recently, Haier, the world’s leading home appliance brand for 17 consecutive years, held a highly anticipated event known as the Haier Fans Club on June 2 at La Faisanderie, Stade Français, in Paris. This occasion marks the fourth consecutive year Haier has partnered with Roland-Garros, reinforcing its commitment to youth tennis development and fan engagement through the Haier Clay Court Open, a prestigious youth tennis tournament aimed at players aged 12 to 15 from the greater Paris area.
The competition saw talented junior players competing in a professional match format on clay courts, culminating in an exciting finale where Victor de Bure and Victoria Andrieu emerged as the champions in their respective singles categories. As Wang Meiyan, Vice President and Brand Director at Haier Group commented, "The Haier Clay Court Open provides young tennis players in Greater Paris a competitive day on the clay, along with tickets to the Roland-Garros finals. This meaningful prize sets a standard that we uphold across all our sports partnerships."
The Haier Fans Club event encompasses more than just tennis; it underlines Haier's dedication to creating impactful experiences that resonate with local communities. In line with this, throughout the Roland-Garros 2026 tournament, Haier showcased its flagship range of smart home appliances at the venue. The exhibition included a variety of products such as refrigerators, wine coolers, dishwashers, laundry centers, and smart kitchen appliances, providing an interactive space for visitors to engage with the latest offerings.
From June 3 onward, Haier also organized a temporary installation at Place de la Concorde featuring a global photo exhibition highlighting Haier fan communities worldwide. In a striking integration of sports sponsorship, Haier also engaged football fans by hosting interactive events, drawing on its partnerships with prominent football clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. The harmonization of its tennis and football collaborations in one venue in Paris creates a dynamic environment that caters to diverse sporting interests.
The strategic choice of sports as a platform for brand engagement underlines Haier's recognition of sports as a medium that authentically connects with consumers. By tapping into universal themes of excellence, perseverance, and human potential that sport represents, Haier cultivates deep emotional connections with its audience, extending the brand experience beyond traditional marketing efforts.
