The first round of the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas will take place on 5 and 6 February. BNP Paribas, the title sponsor of this the number one women's team tennis competition, eagerly awaits the following World Group matches: Russia and France, Australia and Italy, the Slovak and Czech Republics, and Belgium and the United States.
BNP Paribas is passionate about its commitment to women's tennis. With over 80 nations taking part, the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas is a powerful way of highlighting women's endeavours and aspirations - values which our Group strongly supports.
In addition to our partnership with the Fed Cup, which was recently been renewed for a further 5-year period, the Group supports major WTA circuit tournaments such as the Bank of the West Classic in the United States, the Internationaux de Strasbourg in France, the Grand Prix SAR Lalla Meriem in Morocco, amongst others.
For over 40 years, BNP Paribas has been working closely with tennis, demonstrating an unrivalled enthusiasm for the sport. Sponsoring major tournaments on the professional circuit has helped the Group to enhance global brand-awareness and to forge closer relationships with our customers and prospective clients.
Today we are the world's number one sponsor of tennis in all its forms, and our ambitions go further than simply gaining recognition for the brand. BNP Paribas is a committed and innovative partner for the sports' future. In fact, the phrase "We are tennis" says it all - perfectly encapsulating our determination to promote tennis for all, and in all forms.
