ICC – T20 announcement
In January, the schedule was announced for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies. As the ninth edition of this prestigious 20-over showcase, the tournament will span three venues in the USA and six in the Caribbean. We are proud to share that Accredit will once again be at the helm, providing our full range of accreditation services and the platform for the eighth time since our partnership began in 2016.
Tennis Australia and the Grand Slam Glory of the Australian Open
Tennis enthusiasts around the globe eagerly awaited the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open. Our CEO Peder and COO Nicola were amongst the lucky ones to attend the event, Peder wrote:
‘’One of the greatest joys of my job is seeing the incredible events that we have the privilege to work on. This week was special as we had the opportunity to see the Australian Open, seeing the Accredit platform in action, from front of house to high-security areas, was truly impressive. And finally, being able to watch the tennis live was a wonderful experience. Thank you to the Australian Open team for such a great project. It's these moments that remind us why we do what we do.’’
Accredit Solutions helps you win Championships - let’s go....
FACT CHECK:Although this is not technically correct, our record of working with winners is solid. Since working with our first Lombardi Trophy winner, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, our Super Bowl win record is 3 and 1 (as we predicted an Accredit Solutions customer would triumph last Sunday – more below); and even in the year we didn’t have the Super Bowl winner on our roster, the LA Rams who were victorious, played their games in the SoFi Stadium, who hosted the Super Bowl that year and SoFi stadium was at the time and still is an Accredit Customer – so maybe we bring good luck. And this, year, we couldn’t lose, with both the 49ers and Chiefs being Accredit Solutions customers, (hence our prediction 😉 )
So here is to what was a brilliant Super Bowl LVIII and another Accredit Solutions customer win - Congratulations Chiefs! We love all customers equally, 49ers… you played an excellent game!
