Allianz secures safety and coverage at Milano Cortina 2026 as Official Olympic Insurer

Allianz is the Official Worldwide Insurance Partner for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics (6 – 22 February), providing comprehensive insurance solutions for athletes and, for the first time, specialized ticket cancellation insurance for spectators.

Allianz Partners offers coverage for unforeseen circumstances, such as serious illness, for fans from Italy, France, Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany. 

The Munich- and Milan-based insurer has developed bespoke insurance solutions tailored to the unique challenges of hosting one of the world’s largest sporting events across multiple venues from Milan to the Dolomites and Italian Alps.

Allianz’s insurance portfolio for the Games encompasses a broad range of risk areas critical to the smooth conduct of the event. This includes property, liability, cyber coverage, and protection against travel disruptions for Olympic stakeholders, in close coordination with the International Olympic Committee and the wider insurance market.

Through Allianz Partners, the Allianz Group is also providing ticket cancellation insurance that allows fans attending the Games to be reimbursed if unforeseen circumstances - such as sudden illness - prevent them from attending. Additionally, members of the Olympic family on the ground benefit from medical assistance coverage, ensuring health and safety are prioritized throughout the event.

Beyond traditional insurance solutions, Allianz has worked with partners such as the German Bobsleigh and Luge Association to elevate safety standards in winter sports. The introduction of Allianz’s “Safety Sled” helps analyze ice and track conditions before races, supporting athletes with critical insights ahead of competition days.

While the insurance program covers essential risk areas, Allianz’s involvement also reflects its broader commitment to safety, inclusion, and unity in sport. This is part of the company’s multi-year partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, which has been in place since 2021 and marks decades of engagement with the Paralympic community.

By safeguarding key elements of the Games - from organizational risks to fan experiences and athlete safety - Allianz aims to ensure that Milano Cortina 2026 remains a memorable and secure global celebration of winter sport.
