Allianz announces winners of the ‘Unity Awards’ celebrating the Power of Unity through sport

Throughout June, Allianz received applications for the Unity Awards – an initiative within the company’s “Power of Unity” program, which is founded on the belief that sport is a powerful tool for connection and social progress. In a world that often feels divided, some people and groups remind us of what is possible when we come together. Today, we honor the winners of the Allianz Unity Awards – remarkable individuals who are using sport to break barriers, foster belonging and create lasting change in their communities. 

These champions truly embody the Power of Unity by building togetherness in a polarized world. They prove that sport is much more than just a game; it is a powerful force for inclusion, resilience, and hope. This year’s winners are:

All award winners will receive financial support through Allianz’s MoveNow Fund to help expand their impact.

The Unity Awards reflect Allianz’s belief in the power of sport to bring people together. Allianz is a global partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, including the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, and this is just one of many sports partnerships worldwide.  Through these collaborations, Allianz supports initiatives that promote connection, inclusion, and resilience through sport.

Launched in 2024, the Power of Unity program builds on this commitment by helping individuals and communities engage more constructively in the face of growing polarization. Through research, learning initiatives, and programs like the Unity Awards, Allianz is amplifying the voices of those who are bridging divides and fostering a stronger, more united world.
