The Premier League club, AFC Bournemouth have signed an extension with their long-term associate, Village Hotels, for the 2023/24 season.
With this development, the two entities involved will enter into the 10th year of the association. Prolonging as the English top-flight club’s Academy and Development Partner, the company will assist the women’s team throughout the new season, providing gym memberships to all first-team players and staff.
The availability of facilities by Village Hotels will enable the academy and women with recovery sessions along with personal development in the gym. The utilities of the gym will be tagged along with a cutting-edge Technogym kit, a 25-meter heated indoor swimming pool, three fitness studios, event facilities, a whirlpool and free parking.
As per the pact, Village Hotels will receive exposure at the Vitality Stadium for one home league across the 2023/24 season.
Rob Mitchell, Commercial Director at AFC Bournemouth, said, “It’s great to have The Village on board for an incredible tenth season. Their state-of-the-art facilities are second to none and will continue to be so beneficial for our academy and women. We’re very lucky to have them so close to Vitality Stadium, which makes it easy for the players to make the most of the partnership.”
Carolyn Brown, Leisure Membership Sales Manager at The Village said, “We’re really excited to continue our long-standing partnership with AFC Bournemouth and wish them the best of luck for the season ahead!”
Prior to the commencement of the season, the Cherries managed to bag multiple sponsorship deals – Tru Talent, Dental on the Banks, Uber Eats, DeWalt, Care South, IFX Payments, Dun & Bradstreet, and Vitality.
The Kings Park-based team is having quite a contrasting outing on the field as compared to the commercial field as the unit played two fixtures and is yet to bag a victory. AFC Bournemouth will play against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow i.e. Saturday, August 26 at 5 PM IST.
