NZ Paralympic Team partner with Westfield 

Westfield announce official team supporter and partnership with paralympics new zealand and the new zealand olympic team

Paralympics New Zealand together with Scentre Group announced Westfield as an official team supporter partner of the NZ Paralympic Team. 

The strategic partnership will see all five Westfield destinations across New Zealand transform into official Fan Zones for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.  

From later this month, customers can visit their local Westfield centre to enjoy dedicated livestreams of key events direct from Paris as well as enjoy Paralympic themed activations, live music and more.  

Paralympics New Zealand CEO, Greg Warnecke, said: “We are excited that Kiwis will be able to follow the action at the Paralympic Games with the support of Westfield in New Zealand. The Fan Zones will generate an additional buzz around Paris 2024 and further elevate the pinnacle event in the Para sport calendar.” 

Scentre Group Chief Executive Officer, Elliott Rusanow said this strategic partnership is about building community connection and creating more reasons for customers to visit and spend time at their local Westfield: 

“Our Westfield destinations are community hubs, places people choose to visit to connect and spend their time. We will be giving Kiwis at home the opportunity to come together and cheer on their favourite athletes. 

“Westfield destinations will transform into official Fan Zones and open for more hours of the day, including in the early hours of the morning, when many events will be happening live.  

A full calendar of unmissable moments will be available at Westfield destinations throughout the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games (28 August – 8 September).
