Team Visa is a sponsorship programme that helps the best young athletes in Europe as they strive to fulfil their Olympic and Paralympic dreams.
The members of Team Visa are selected and mentored by
former Olympic and Paralympic Champions and given the
wisdom and motivation they need to train, qualify and
win medals at future Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Team Visa is made up of two generations of great athletes. Our ‘Hopefuls’ are great prospects for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and, looking further ahead, our ‘Apprentices’ are contenders for London 2012.
Young potential Olympians and Paralympians are put forward to Team Visa by the national governing bodies of their sports. Then our Mentors select the very best of these to join the team.
