ExxonMobil is yet again sponsor of Bislett Games. A new agreement between ExxonMobil and the Bislett Alliance - consisting of the athletic clubs, BUL, Vidar and Tjalve – was signed during a press conference in Oslo on Wednesday 20 April. It is the 18th  time ExxonMobil sponsors Bislett Games, being a major contributor to this prestigous Golden League arrangement in Oslo.

During the press conference, the Bislett Alliance gave a briefing on the ExxonMobil Bislett Games scheduled for 29 July, and also marking the opening of the New Bislett Stadium.

The Golden League arrangement on the New Bislett Stadium is an important sports event in Norway, contributing substantially to the interest for athletics in the Oslo area as well as in all of  Norway.

The cooperation between ExxonMobil and the Bislett Alliance has contributed to the old Bislett Stadium being ranked as the 5th best arena for athletics in the world. This high ranking is i.a. due to the numerous world records set here, and to a competent public managing to create a good atmosphere during these athletics meetings. The setting of these events has received much acclaim. Not least due to all the events linked to ExxonMobil Bislett Games, our company has by the International Athletics Association been acknowledged as the most professional of all Golden League sponsors.

We look forward to the opening of the great New Bislett Stadium and to an exciting sports event with participation by the world’s premier track athletes.
