Recently, the signing ceremony of the strategic cooperation between Samaranch Foundation and Zigong Cultural Tourism Investment and Development Co., Ltd. and the 2021 Samaranch Cup Gas Volleyball Invitational Tournament (Zigong Station) was successfully held in Chengdu. Zhu Ling, former national player of Chinese women's volleyball team, Olympic champion and former director of Sichuan Sports Bureau, Qing Liu, head of Chengdu Office of Samaranch Foundation, Song Qingshan, chairman of Zigong Culture and Tourism Investment, Li Yunsheng, executive director and director of Beijing Dacheng (Chengdu) Law Firm, representatives of Sacchi Women's Volleyball Team, some men's volleyball team and tennis team attended the signing ceremony.

Since its establishment eight years ago, Samaranch Foundation has been serving the development of sports industry in cities across the country. Taking Chengdu as an example, Samaranch Foundation assisted Chengdu in successfully bidding for the 2025 World Games in 2019, deeply participated in the World Police Association in 2019, and now it is also the international relations advisory body of the 2021 Chengdu Games. This strategic cooperation with Zigong is also the first step for Samaranch Foundation to expand the scope of assistance. Believe that both sides uphold the principle of mutual trust and mutual assistance, mutual benefit and win-win, will certainly provide a strong impetus for the development of Zigong's sports cause, and will certainly better spread the Olympic spirit
