• Signs landmark partnership with NOCSL 

Dialog Axiata PLC, a leading connectivity provider and prolific promoter of sports, has strengthened its commitment to the nation’s Olympic aspirations by becoming the Official Telecommunications Partner of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka (NOCSL) through to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

Through this landmark partnership, Dialog will support Sri Lanka’s athletes on their journey to the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, and Olympic Games, reaffirming its commitment to nurturing sporting excellence and helping local athletes compete on the world stage.

The partnership comes at a time when Sri Lanka is in a strong position to create history, with javelin thrower Rumesh Tharanga emerging as one of the country’s leading medal prospects following his outstanding performances on the global stage. 

Sri Lanka has won two Olympic medals in its history, with Duncan White claiming Silver in the men’s 400 m hurdles at the 1948 London Olympics, and Susanthika Jayasinghe winning Silver in the women’s 200 m at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

“For over two decades, Dialog has remained committed to powering Sri Lankan sports, believing in its ability to unite the nation and inspire generations. Our partnership with the NOCSL reflects our continued investment in helping athletes pursue excellence on the international stage. 

“As Team Sri Lanka begins its journey at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and continues on the road to Los Angeles Olympics 2028, we are proud to stand alongside our athletes, powering the nation’s quest for gold and supporting their pursuit of sporting excellence and national pride,” said Dialog Axiata Group Chief Marketing Officer Lasantha Theverapperuma.  

NOCSL President Asanga Seneviratne added: “Our vision is to connect every Sri Lankan through the power of sport, creating opportunities that inspire, unite, and uplift communities across the nation. Together with Dialog, we are investing in the next generation, empowering young people to dream fearlessly, achieve excellence, and proudly represent Sri Lanka on the world stage.”
