Are these simply flagpoles?
There isn't much more context other than the marketing context (at a sports venue).
Thanks in advance,

Yes, I think it's fairly safe to use flagpole as mât and poteaux do seem to be synonymous
Larousse for example gives 'poteau: mât portant un écriteau ...'
Pied basculant, pied fixe, tête tournate, tête fixe

Mat : Poteau sur lequel sont attachées les voiles. ...

So unless they have some kind of specific use in mind other than flying banners or flags it seems pretty likely that it's a flagpole
Mat avec potence, mat sans potence
Mat avec système de hissage, mat sans système de hissage (drisse)
Pied basculant, pied fixe, tête tournate, tête fixe
