BNP is one of the biggest partner of Roland-Garros and other famous tournaments all over the world. The purpose of this partnership has always been to open tennis to the world. Tennis is usually considered as sport for rich people furthermore, it’s an individual sport where players play for themselves and only for themselves. BNP wants to change this image because the brand is convinced that on the contrary, tennis can be for everyone and that it can be a powerful tool to exchange between one another and have a positive impact on the community. 2023 was the year BNP celebrated 50 years of partnership with Roland-Garros. An incredible opportunity to convey its message.

The idea is very simple : transform every winning point of each player into a donation. 15 points equals 150€, 30 points : 300€ and 40 points : 400€. And all the money collected during the match will benefit an association which works for young people through tennis.

On May 28, at the Central Court, during the globally broadcast first round of Roland -Garros,

BNP launched a solidarity match for the benefit of the Jo-Wilfried Tsonga’s Attrap’ La Balle association which works to include disadvantaged youth through tennis. A match in which we changed the way we count points.Transforming every winning ball into a donation.

After having turned avery wining points into more that 100,000€ into donations, Wa Play For Change has extended to all the other tournaments which BNP is partner with to finance the 50 projects that will benefit the youth.
