Vauxhall backs grassroots football in the UK
Car giant signs partnership agreement with all four Home Nations, which will see it give its support to grassroots football across the UK
Vauxhall Motors has signed partnership agreements with all four Home Nations that will see it become a ‘driving force behind football in the UK’.
Vauxhall has partnership agreements in place with the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland football associations which run up to and including the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and include sponsorship of all national teams and a full inventory of other grassroots national football programmes.
Vauxhall managing director Duncan Aldred (pictured, right, with Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington) said: "It is a great honour for us to become the first company ever to be the lead sponsor of all four of the governing bodies of football in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales at the same time.
“In partnership with the FAs, it is our intention to become a driving force behind football supporting the senior and grass roots game across the whole of the UK.
“We know how passionate all four countries are about football and as a deeply rooted British organisation we also want to demonstrate our enthusiasm and commitment.”
Aldred added: “We are not only committed to helping the England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales national senior teams compete successfully on the international stage but as a forward-thinking company we are also focussed on developing grassroots initiatives covering youth, junior football and women's football.”
