Vauxhall extends Scottish Football team sponsorship by four more years
Vauxhall has agreed a new four-year sponsorship deal with the Scottish Football Association (SFA) as lead partner of the Scottish National football teams.
The deal, which initially began in January 2011, will now run until July 2018 and include the Russian FIFA World Cup Finals of that year.
Duncan Aldred, chairman and managing director of Vauxhall, commented: “This affiliation has delivered tremendous levels of brand awareness and has helped further cement our position as the number one selling car brand in Scotland.
“We hope our renewed commitment will play a key role in developing the national sport over the next five years and provide the driving force behind the further progression of football in Scotland.
“Football and cars are two of our nation's biggest passions and this partnership is a clear and unequivocal sign of Vauxhall’s long standing commitment to Scottish football,” he added.
Vauxhall made the announcement as the teams for the first tie between Scotland and England in over a decade were announced, with the game - a friendly - set to take place at Wembley on 14 August.
Vauxhall is also the sponsor of the England, Wales and Northern Ireland national teams and extended it sponsorship of the England football team in May.
