CAMS-Tifosi sponsorship not affected by coronavirus

UK-based women's team CAMS-Tifosi has confirmed that its sponsorship has not been affected by the global COVID-19 epidemic. While corporate cost-cutting has affected some of the world's top men's and women's teams, CAMS-Tifosi's three-year sponsorship deal remains intact.

"In light of the ongoing global coronavirus crisis, several other sponsors of the sport have felt the need to reduce or scale back their sponsorships, but CAMS is very much beyond the current situation to see the team compete successfully in future events looking forward to it," read a press statement on Tuesday. In the meantime, CAMS is working to support the government's message to "Stay At Home, Protect The NHS, Save Lives."
