Intersport

At the heart of Intersport lies a deeply rooted cooperative culture and an unwavering passion for bringing 'Sport to the People'. Founded in 1968 from the ambitious vision of ten national buying organizations uniting in Berne, Switzerland, the company was built on a foundation of collaboration and entrepreneurial spirit. This legacy continues today, with each Intersport store being independently owned and operated. This unique model empowers local entrepreneurs who possess an unparalleled understanding of their communities, ensuring that every customer receives expert advice, personalized guidance, and genuine value. The team believes that sport is for everyone, and this philosophy is woven into the fabric of the company's identity, from the products on the shelves to the specialists who are always ready to help select the perfect equipment.

The culture is one of partnership and shared success. Intersport fosters an environment where teamwork is paramount, building strong relationships and creating connections between teams, functions, and the 42 countries it operates in. This collaborative mindset is central to the 'GROW TOGETHER FASTER' strategy, a commitment to enhancing agility, reacting swiftly to trends, and leveraging the proximity of local retailers to consumers. By focusing on omnichannel excellence and strengthening its cooperative core, Intersport aims to be the preferred choice for consumers and a leading partner for the world's best sporting brands. The organization is dedicated to developing its talent, believing that when its people thrive and win, the entire group succeeds, further empowering its mission to connect everyone to the benefits of sport, health, and wellness.
