World Aquatics is pleased to announce that 361° has been selected as the Official World Aquatics Championships Sportswear for Doha 2024 and Singapore 2025, and for the World Aquatics Masters Championships in Doha and Singapore.
Through careful collaboration and a shared vision, World Aquatics has brokered this partnership that represents a significant union between sport and style, offering a wide selection of innovative clothing for upcoming competitions. The collaboration will help to enhance the overall Championship experience for stakeholders and fans alike.
As the World Aquatics Official Sportswear Supplier, 361° will provide sportswear including clothing, shoes and accessories for World Aquatics staff, technical officials, the Local Organising Committee and volunteers. Already in Doha, the sportswear supplied by 361° has allied comfort and style for the wearers with visual appeal for the athletes and fans seeing it.
The design of the 361° clothing carefully integrates the theme of “water”: articulating a balance of softness and power, creating a dynamic and graceful aesthetic. Meticulously crafted with breathability and antibacterial properties, the designs prioritise comfort. Further, the ergonomics of the designs enable fluid movement, enhanced by innovative printing technology that creates a soft and light feel. The collection harmoniously embodies both tradition and innovation, togetherness and integration, vitality, and the spirit of competition.
As part of this collaboration, the 361° logo will also feature on the World Aquatics website, alongside our existing commercial partners.
World Aquatics President, Husain Al-Musallam, commented on the partnership, saying, “361° sportswear excellently marries functionality and style, representing a true celebration of athleticism and innovation. It has been a pleasure to wear. With this latest addition to our partnership, we are proud to expand our global reach and continue supporting the development and modernisation of aquatics.”
361°’s Managing Director, Zheng Yexin, stated; “We are thrilled to become the World Aquatics Official Sportswear Supplier for a number of their upcoming Championships. The 2024 Doha World Aquatics Championships are a fantastic starting point in our collaboration, where we are providing innovative, carefully designed and high-quality equipment for the event. We look forward to working closely with World Aquatics to help carve a new chapter for the development of aquatic sports across the world.”
