Alpha Industries sponsors Royal College Rowing Team for 2024 season

Alpha Industries, the manufacturing arm of the privately-owned FINCO Group, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the Royal College Rowing Team for the 2024 season. 

This partnership marks a significant commitment to supporting young athletes and fostering the sport of rowing in Sri Lanka.

The Royal College of Colombo, renowned for its pioneering rowing program since 1953, has a storied history in the sport. The prestigious Royal Thomian Regatta, the oldest inter-school rowing regatta in Sri Lanka, is a testament to the school’s dedication to rowing excellence. The rowing community eagerly anticipates this annual event, featuring intense competition in single sculls, coxless pairs, and coxed fours.

Alpha Industries Chief Executive Officer/Director Safraz Careem expressed his enthusiasm for the sponsorship. A former Royalist and avid rowing enthusiast, Careem said: “It’s a privilege to support the Royal College Rowing Team. Rowing teaches discipline, teamwork, and resilience – values that are at the core of Alpha Industries. We look forward to seeing the team lead the front in the coming season and beyond.”

This sponsorship aligns with Alpha Industries’ commitment to community engagement and youth development. By supporting the Royal College Rowing Team, Alpha Industries aims to encourage sportsmanship and foster the next generation of rowing champions in Sri Lanka.

The Royal College Rowing Team is set to compete with renewed vigour this season, buoyed by the support of Alpha Industries. The collaboration not only highlights the company’s dedication to excellence but also underscores its belief in the transformative power of the sporting culture in Sri Lanka.
