Premier Division Sligo Rovers confirm 'significant partnership' with Avantcard

Premier Division Sligo Rovers have unveiled a ‘significant new partnership’ with Leitrim based firm Avantcard.

The new partnership will see the Leitrim-based lender becoming the primary sponsor of the Bit O’ Red for two years.

The agreement will see the Avantcard logo appear on the men’s senior home and away jerseys, along with branded signage throughout The Showgrounds.

“We are simply thrilled to confirm Avantcard as our new primary sponsor,” Sligo Rovers chairman Martin Heraghty said.  

“As a large employer in the region, they whole-heartedly share our belief in the community, which was an important consideration for us in looking for a new sponsor.

“The club would not be able to function without the support of the business community, and today we have partnered with a major player in the Financial Services sector based right on our doorstep.

“I want to thank Chris Paul, and all the team at Avantcard, as we look forward to the start of a successful partnership.”

Chris Paul, Avantcard’s CEO added; “Avantcard is absolutely delighted to be partnering with Sligo Rovers to become their official sponsor.

“It is a turbulent time for Irish soccer which makes it all the more important for businesses to support their local sports organisations, given the vital role they play in their communities.

“We are excited to show our support to Sligo Rovers and its fans, many of whom will be Avantcard customers.

“We feel this is a natural fit given our base as a local employer and our commitment to supporting people and projects in the region, and we are proud to be in a position where we can support the club for the next two seasons.”
