This week, U.S. mega carrier United Airlines was named as the official front-of-shirt sponsor of Wrexham Afc, the recently promoted Welsh football team, beginning with the 2023-2024 season for both the men’s side and women’s side. As part of their broader partnership with Wrexham AFC, the United Airlines name and logo will emblazon the front of Wrexham AFC shirts during the club’s home and away games.

“We seek out sponsors that match the spirit of both Wrexham Association Football Club and the people of Wrexham,” commented Wrexham AFC Co-Chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds. “We could think of no better sponsor for the next phase of our quest than United Airlines. The team, town and fans around the world are united as never before and United Airlines is committed to elevating our story and journey.”

 

“The story of Wrexham AFC and their fans represents the best of what professional sports has to offer,” said United Airlines Chief Communications Officer Josh Earnest. “The passion and perseverance of this team on the rise has captured the imagination of people in the U.S. and around the world. When the Wrexham AFC players deliver even more heart-pumping moments this season, we couldn’t be prouder that United Airlines will be written across their chests. We’re also excited to partner with the team and their co-chairmen across social media and on their hit TV show as the incredible story of this team and its loyal fans continues to unfold.”
