Isuzu is set to score with football fans with the announcement that it has become the Official Commercial Vehicle Partner to the Samuel Gelston’s Whiskey Irish Cup.
“We are extremely delighted to announce this new partnership with the Irish Football Association and the Samuel Gelston’s Whiskey Irish Cup,” commented William Brown, Managing Director, Isuzu UK. “The agreement further demonstrates Isuzu UK’s commitment and support for football at all levels in the UK and expands our involvement in Northern Ireland while also complementing our existing partnerships with The Football Association in England and the Welsh Rugby Union. We are looking forward to actively supporting the teams involved in this year’s competition and can't wait for the next round.”
Across Northern Ireland, Isuzu dealerships will be actively involved with their local clubs, and some are already starting preparations for local sponsorship deals and promotional matchday activations.
First contested in 1881, the Irish Cup is the world's fourth-oldest national cup competition. Current holders Crusaders defeated Ballymena United in the final back in May, with goals from Josh Robinson and Johnny McMurray. They will undoubtedly be keen to retain the trophy this season.
Stephen Bogle, Head of Sales and Marketing at the Irish FA, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Isuzu UK as an official partner to the Samuel Gelston’s Whiskey Irish Cup. We look forward to working with the Isuzu UK team to support their plans for football across Northern Ireland in the coming years."
This season’s Samuel Gelston’s Whiskey Irish Cup began on the 13th of August 2022, with the final being held next May at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park.
