Woolworths signs as supermarket and fresh food sponsor of Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games
Supermarket giant Woolworths has been named the official supermarket and fresh food sponsor of the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
Held from 4 April to 15 April next year, the Commonwealth Games will see athletes from 70 nations compete across various venues in Queensland.
Andrew Hicks, director of marketing at Woolworths, said the supermarket had always supported Australian community events and the team is excited to be a part of the event.
“Eating fresh and healthy food is also essential to the success of any athlete and we are thrilled that our partnership and involvement with the Australian team will help inspire the next generation of sporting champions,” Hicks said.
Kate Jones, Commonwealth Games minister, said: “With Woolworths’ stores right across the country, it’s a great way to showcase all that the Games has to offer – not just on the Gold Coast, but in our Event Cities of Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville.”

This is hilarious. How can you report Commonwealth Games between 4th August to 15th August? It in April!
Reporters can not get this type of thing wrong. No credibility.
