Roofing manufacturer IKO helps to bring English amputee football to the global stage with momentous sponsorship deal
Roofing manufacturer IKO PLC is helping national amputee football reach new heights and win more fans worldwide after striking a sponsorship deal that will see the elite sport broadcast live for the first time.
IKO has become headline sponsor of the England Amputee Football Association (EAFA) National Football League (EAFL), supporting EAFA throughout 2024, from providing new kit and equipment to live streaming matches. The deal will see the EAFL rebranded as the ‘IKO EAFL’ ahead of the new season, which kicks off at the end of January.
The EAFA provides amputees, people with congenital limb deficiencies and those with limb-affecting disabilities, with the opportunity to play football at grassroots and international level. The EAFL is the primary highlight of the association’s calendar, with teams from prominent clubs, such as Everton, Chelsea and Portsmouth competing. All fixtures for the 2024 season will be played at Reaseheath College, in Nantwich, Cheshire, and broadcast across the EAFA Facebook and YouTube channels.
