Standard Chartered Bank has extended its
partnership with Liverpool Football Club for a further four years.
The new deal takes the partnership to 17 seasons
overall, and will now continue until at least the end of the
2026/27 football season.
Standard Chartered started as Liverpool FC’s main
team sponsor in July 2010, when the bank became only the fifth
company to ever to adorn the Reds’ first team strip.
The latest agreement also includes sponsorship of LFC Women, as they return
to the Women’s Super League, and aims to increase participation in
the women’s game.
Standard Chartered has extended its partnership with Liverpool Football Club for a further four years.
“We have been on an incredible
journey together and Standard Chartered’s support has been a key
driver in our most recent successes, both on and off the pitch,
with their loyalty and commitment to Liverpool Football Club,”
said Billy Hogan, Chief Executive Officer, Liverpool Football
Club. “Our partnership has been able to thrive because of our shared
values and we look forward to continuing to work together to help
and support our communities and supporters around the world.”
For a decade, Standard Chartered
and Liverpool FC have used their partnership to support a number
of the bank’s sustainability and community investment programmes.
Together, they have raised over £500,000 to tackle avoidable
blindness and help young people, especially girls, learn new
skills.
The bank has also worked closely with the LFC
Foundation to empower young adults through its Futuremakers
Initiative and has provided hundreds of match day tickets to local
residents to cheer on the Reds.
“When we partnered with Liverpool FC in 2010 we could not have
imagined the success of both the partnership and of the club,”
said Bill Winters, Group Chief Executive, Standard Chartered. “Liverpool FC has been a true partner and, as one of the
world’s best-known football clubs, we are proud to be associated
with them. We are delighted to be continuing our partnership for
the next four years and look forward to building on our already
successful relationship.”
