Founding partner window · closes 31 December 2026

Get in before LA28 resets the price.

Flag football is 20 million players in 100+ countries and an Olympic sport in 2028. Right now, a European club with 15+ nationalities and 137K unique viewers in 90 days costs less than a mid-size trade fair booth. That stops being true the moment the Olympic broadcast lands.

Why now, specifically

The category is about to get expensive. It isn't yet.

Every Olympic debut follows the same curve. Sponsorship is cheap while the sport is unknown, then repriced once a global broadcast puts it in front of a few hundred million people. Skateboarding, sport climbing and 3x3 basketball all ran this pattern through Tokyo 2020.

Flag football's broadcast moment is Los Angeles, July 2028. The 2026 World Championship in Düsseldorf already carried 32 teams and international broadcast distribution. Everything between now and LA28 is the discount window.

You are not buying a Slovenian amateur club. You are buying an entry price into an Olympic category, two years before the market prices it correctly.

Founding partner rate lock

Sign a three-year agreement before 31 December 2026 and your rate is fixed through the LA28 Games. No post-Olympic uplift.

The media, in units you can price

137K unique viewers in 90 days. Zero of it bought.

Everything below is earned reach — no paid amplification, no boosted posts, no bot inflation. If we spent on ads the number would be bigger and worth less.

Metric Figure What it means for you
Unique viewers (last 90 days) 137K Distinct people reached, counted once each
Reel views (last 90 days) 299K Athlete-led reels are the main delivery format
Instagram community 10,800+ Central Europe core, meaningful DACH and Adriatic tails
Nationalities on roster 15+ Content lands natively in 15 home markets, not just Slovenia
Ad spend behind it €0 Reach is earned, so engagement rates hold
International tournaments / year 4+ Adria Bowl, Copenhagen Bowl, Big Bowl, Capital Bowl Paris
In-house production Photo + video, every event No agency line item on your side
2026 record 15-6 domestic · 25-8 international · Adria Bowl V champions at 8-0 Winning teams get filmed more

Basis of the reach figures: Instagram Insights, 24 June to 22 September 2026, no paid amplification. The window contains our WC26 peak, so it is not a twelve-month rate. We publish the delivery report at season end.

Two kinds of brands get outsized value here.

You're a Slovenian company selling into Europe

Your roster problem is our roster advantage. Fifteen nationalities means content that reads as native in Austria, Germany, Croatia, Italy and further out — Brazil, Panama, Australia, Mongolia. You get European-market presence without a European media buy.

You're a European or American brand entering Europe

You need category entry, local credibility and content velocity, cheaply and fast. A club that travels the European circuit gives you all three, plus an Olympic-pathway story that works in every market you're entering.

GEARXPro has run this play with us season after season.

Partnership tiers · one brand per category

Four ways to partner.

Every tier includes category exclusivity and a season-end delivery report. Exclusive means your brand is the only one on the club.

Custom packages built around your market, campaign timeline and activation channels. If none of the above fits, tell us the budget and the objective and we'll build against it.

Brands don't renew out of politeness.

In 2026 the domestic team stands at 15-6 and the international team finished 25-8, with Adria Bowl V champion status and promotion to Austria's FLA Division 1. One more promotion is the top flight. If the next season goes the same way, the club climbs the Austrian league and the European circuit in parallel, and a partner who signs now is on the shirt for the climb rather than after it.

GEARXPro — a partner since 2019, the club's founding year, renewed every year since.

Current partners

In-house team. No agency markup on your side.

Matchday

Jersey integration, venue banners, tournament environments across four countries a season.

Athlete-led content

Product clips, promo-code campaigns, aftermovies. Built around players who actually use the product, because audiences can tell the difference.

Reporting

Season-end delivery report: views, unique viewers, shares, promo-code redemptions and UTM clicks for your brand. You see what you bought.

Questions sponsors actually ask.

Four tiers per season: Silver at €3,000, Gold at €5,000, Title Partner at €10,000, and Exclusive Partner (one partner only: all current partners step aside) at €25,000. Custom packages are also available: tell us your budget and objective and we'll build a proposal around it.

Every tier includes category exclusivity and a season-end delivery report. Silver starts with a training venue banner and kit patch, 2 social features, a newsletter mention and a branded video. Higher tiers add game-ball placement, athlete clips, event hosting and LA28 co-marketing — see the packages below for the full breakdown.

Every sport that debuts at the Olympics follows the same curve: sponsorship is cheap while the sport is still unfamiliar, then repriced once a global broadcast puts it in front of a few hundred million people — skateboarding, sport climbing and 3x3 basketball all ran this pattern through Tokyo 2020. Flag football's broadcast moment is Los Angeles, July 2028, and the 2026 World Championship in Düsseldorf already carried 32 teams and international broadcast distribution. Everything between now and LA28 is the discount window.

Yes. Sign a three-year agreement before 31 December 2026 and your rate is fixed through the LA28 Games, with no post-Olympic increase.

All of it is earned. Zero euros of paid amplification, no boosted posts and no bot inflation have gone into the club's channels. If we ran ads behind the numbers they would be bigger and worth less to a sponsor.

GEARXPro has been a partner since 2019 — the club's founding year — and has renewed every year since. It is the longest-running partnership in the club's history.

Tracked reach on every sponsor post (views, unique viewers, shares), a dedicated promo code and UTM link per partner, a mid-season check-in and a season-end delivery report.

Two ways: get the sponsorship deck for packages, delivery data and activation options with no call required, or book a 20-minute call — tell us your target market and objective and we'll come back with a package built around it, or tell you honestly we're not the right fit.

Two ways to start.
