Global industrial and technology group CSG has entered into a partnership with the Czech Shooting Federation, with a particular focus on supporting young sport shooters, including members of the Czech national team. Olympic champion and Czech Shooting Federation Vice-President David Kostelecký will also become a CSG ambassador.
The partnership brings together the Czech Shooting Federation and CSG, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of small-calibre ammunition. As part of the partnership, the group will supply shotgun ammunition to support the training and competition preparation of young shooters, including members of the Czech national team.
“CSG wants to be a strong and natural partner for the Czech Shooting Federation. Through our Ammo+ division, we have close ties to the shooting sports and can offer not only support, but also the expertise and experience of our companies,” says Petr Marijczuk, CEO of CSG’s Ammo+ division. “It is all the more meaningful for us that the partnership focuses directly on young shooters. We want to help provide them with the right conditions for training and further development as athletes, so that a new successful generation of Czech national team shooters can emerge.”
Supporting young athletes is one of the Czech Shooting Federation’s key priorities. In addition to material support, the new partnership with CSG gives the federation an opportunity to work with a partner that has a natural connection to the shooting sports through its activities in ammunition manufacturing.
“It is very important for the Czech Shooting Federation that CSG is not only a strong partner, but also one with genuine expertise and a deep understanding of our sport. One of the tangible benefits of the partnership will be the supply of Fiocchi shotgun ammunition for young shooters, including members of the national team. This is important to us because today’s youth and junior shooters are the Czech Republic’s national team athletes of the future,” says Roman Blažíček, President of the Czech Shooting Federation.
One of the Czech Republic’s most successful sport shooters, David Kostelecký, will become the face of the partnership and a CSG ambassador. The Czech Shooting Federation Vice-President won Olympic gold in trap at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and silver at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
“The main goal of this partnership is to support young sport shooters, and that is what matters most to me personally. From my own experience, I know how important it is to have the right training conditions from the very beginning and opportunities to compete regularly. I am pleased that we have gained a stable partner in CSG that will enable us to support the next generation of Czech shooters systematically. Among them may be our future Olympians and medallists,” says David Kostelecký, Vice-President of the Czech Shooting Federation and CSG ambassador.
CSG’s Long-Standing Support for Czech Athletes
The partnership with the Czech Shooting Federation builds on CSG’s long-standing support for sport. CSG is the General Partner of the Czech Olympic Team for the 2025–2029 period. In addition to supporting Czech Olympians, the partnership includes initiatives promoting sport and physical activity among children and young people.
As part of the partnership, CSG supports, among other initiatives, the Czech Houses at the Milano Cortina 2026 and Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, the Olympic Festivals and the Olympic All-Around, a programme designed to encourage physical activity and improve fitness among schoolchildren. The new partnership with the Czech Shooting Federation extends this support directly into the shooting sports, with a focus on creating the conditions for the development of the next generation of Czech shooters.
