We are delighted to announce our new partnership with one of Ireland’s leading athletes, Rhasidat Adeleke. The two-year partnership will see Rhasidat come on board as KPMG’s newest sporting ambassador as she looks to build on her incredible achievements to date.
We're a long-term supporter of women’s sport in Ireland, helping to ensure more equality in this space. Alongside our sponsorship of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open, we also have partnerships with outstanding Irish golfer, Leona Maguire and leading Irish jockey, Rachael Blackmore.
About Rhasidat
At the age of just 21, Rhasidat holds Irish records at 60m, 200m, 300m and 400m indoors and at 200m, 300m and 400m outdoors.
Rhasidat previously dominated the track at underage level when she won the gold medal in the 200m at the European Athletics U18 Championships at the age of 15, before going on to win gold in both the 100m and 200m at the European U20 Championships.
Last year, Rhasidat turned professional, finishing fourth in the 400m at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.
So far in 2024, Rhasidat has picked up where she left off in 2023, breaking her Irish indoor 60m and 200m records as she builds towards success this summer.
I’m really proud to become a KPMG ambassador. I have been very impressed with KPMG’s support of Leona and Rachael over the last number of years and I'm honoured to be part of the KPMG team.
We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Rhasidat Adeleke. Investing in young talented people is core to our firm and our values and we are incredibly excited about this partnership. Rhasidat is a true inspiration, showing real commitment and dedication at such a young age. We have been committed to supporting and promoting women in sport for many years and we look forward to continuing that journey with Rhasidat.
