The brand says it has supplied Wimbledon with its official tennis balls since 1902, a partnership it describes as the longest-running in sports sponsorship. Slazenger has been part of Frasers Group since 2004. The dates and ownership are stated by the group; its ranking of the partnership is a company claim.

SPSpeedo is a swimwear and swimming-equipment brand born in Australia in 1928, according to Pentland Brands, whose family it joined in 1991. It makes competition and training swimsuits, goggles and other pool equipment, and its history traces products from the Racerback suit to Fastskin racing suits. Speedo's own historical page notes athletes wearing its suits at past Olympic Games; those historical results do not imply that the brand currently sponsors every swimmer mentioned.
Swimwear and swimming equipment

WEWebb Ellis supplies rugby match balls, playing kit and leisure apparel to clubs, schools and rugby bodies. Its own history page says Welsh Rugby Union, the Heineken Cup, D1A and World Rugby tournaments have used its match balls, and that it has supplied apparel to regional unions and clubs. Those examples are presented as historical claims by the company, not proof that every agreement remains active. The brand's name references the rugby origin story, but the site's timeline of the sport should not be confused with the founding date of the equipment business.
Specialist sports equipment
ZOZoggs sells swimwear and swimming equipment for people learning to swim as well as regular swimmers. Its own corporate page says the brand has been part of the HEAD Group since 2020 and places it within the group's water-sports portfolio. HEAD also operates divisions in racquet sports, winter sports, sportswear and licensing, but the Zoggs entry focuses on aquatic products rather than treating every HEAD division as a Zoggs product. The parent-company link and date come from the brand's own page, so they are included rather than inferred from shared branding.
