Biosports.team, which belongs to Canadian company BioGreen Solutions Canada, specialises in disinfection services and protection against viruses and bacteria.

In addition to providing financial support for a period of three years, biosports.team will provide its services to Canada’s best judokas by "ensuring competition surfaces are well protected".

“We are enthusiastic and proud to partner with Judo Canada as its official sponsor," said Stéphane Giroux, President of BioGreen Solutions Canada.

"In our opinion, Judo Canada ranks among the finest sports federations and biosports.team is very excited about this alliance."

The partnership will also see biosports.team become title sponsor of Judo Canada’s largest national competition.

The biosports.team Canadian Open Judo Championships will take place in Calgary later this month, between May 25 and 28.

Biosports.team, existing sponsor of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, will also see its logo appear on the uniforms of the members of the Canadian team as they participate in international competitions from now through to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

“Through this new alliance, we are demonstrating that we are open to creating partnerships with a number of sponsors to increase private funding for our federation," added Judo Canada chief executive, Nicolas Gill.

"We hope that our new partner is the first of several that will join forces with us."
