Like many major sports events around the world, The Wimbledon Championships 2020 were postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The agreement saw Lavazza branding displayed pitch-side on Serie A and Coppa Italia matches and at the Juventus Training Centre. Lavazza will also be the exclusive coffee vendor at Juventus’ Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy.
