The IOC has a number of major blue-chip sponsors for the Olympics, who are entitled to have their name exclusively associated with the event. As a consequence, any other company that provides sponsorship is not permitted to use its name or branding during the games, which includes as part of the name of any venue. As a consequence of this, three Olympic venues are temporarily renamed for the duration of the Games
