The Football Association (FA) has announced Isuzu UK as the new title sponsor of the FA Trophy and FA Vase.
As part of Isuzu UK’s goal to be the next guiding factor supporting grassroots football, the Isuzu FA Trophy and the Isuzu FA Vase will be renamed the Isuzu FA Trophy and the Isuzu FA Vase till the 2022-23 season.
Isuzu outlets around the nation would be involved directly with their local teams, with many even planning localized endorsement deals, putting up promotional panels, and putting on commercial matchday activations.
In May 2023, the finals of both championships would be hosted at the Wembley Stadium, the heartland of English football, which is interconnected by EE. The previous season’s ‘Non-League Finals Day’ drew 46,111 fans to watch two thrilling games, with Newport Pagnell taking home the FA Vase and Bromley taking home the FA Trophy.
The FA’s Commercial Director, Navin Singh, said, “We’re really excited to welcome Isuzu onboard as both a partner and title sponsor of the FA Trophy and the FA Vase. These competitions involve National League System teams across the length and breadth of the country, and Isuzu’s commitment to this level of the game and extensive network of dealerships will help to support them next season and beyond.”
William Brown, Managing Director of Isuzu UK, stated, “We’re extremely delighted to announce our new partnership with the FA and the title sponsorship of the FA Trophy and FA Vase competitions.
“We know that a local football club can often be the heart of a community, being run by volunteers and supported by local people and this is something that, along with the Isuzu dealer network throughout the country, we’re pleased to support.
“We’re looking forward to actively supporting the teams involved in the two competitions and being the driving force behind grassroots football. We can’t wait to kick off the new season.”
