FedEx and the Orange Bowl

Bowl Championship Series Information

In 1989, FedEx became the title sponsor of the FedEx Orange Bowl Classic, uniting one of the world's most exciting annual sporting venues with one of the world's most dynamic companies. The relationship is a natural extension of qualities which FedEx shares with the championship-caliber teams that succeed in reaching the FedEx Orange Bowl each January.

Speed

In football, speed is essential to an offense's ability to get behind the defense and score quickly. On the other side of the ball, speed is the primary ingredient that allows a defense to outflank offensive maneuvers, and contain the flow of play.

At FedEx, Speed is the foundation of our success story. Bringing packages to people fast is what gave us our start, and what keeps FedEx on top.

Precision

Complex blocking schemes, passing strategies and defensive alignments require precise timing and execution. Ultimately, the most thoroughly thought out game plans depend completely upon the team's ability to execute.

The FedEx integrated network is a study in precision efficiency. It has to be. We move more than 3 million items each business day, collecting packages from 43,200 drop-off locations, and putting 600 aircraft in the air and 39,500 vehicles on the streets.

Teamwork

In a sport in which highly specialized position players must interact as a unit to succeed, teamwork is perhaps the most difficult and most important commodity a team can possess.

The FedEx team of 140,000 comprises one of the most intricate and finely tuned organizations in the world. Information Technology developers, engineers, couriers, mechanics, pilots, sorters and customer service personnel work as one with the singular goal of ensuring that each package reaches its destination on time.
