Vauxhall Announces Sponsorship Of Scotland's National Teams

LUTON, UNITED KINGDOM – January 18, 2011: The Scottish FA is today delighted to announce Vauxhall Motors as new National Team Sponsor.

Vauxhall, the number one-selling car brand in Scotland, has agreed a three-and-a-half year partnership with the Scottish FA until 2014.

In addition to the senior A squad, the agreement includes all Scottish age group and women's national squads.

Announcing the partnership at Hampden Park today, Stewart Regan, Scottish FA Chief Executive, said: “We are proud to have such a respected and enduring brand in Vauxhall as our National Teams Sponsor.

"I am certain the history and heritage of the Vauxhall brand will dovetail perfectly with the national teams’ future hopes and aspirations.

“I look forward to a prosperous partnership that will inspire Craig Levein’s side for the second half of our UEFA Euro 2012 qualification campaign and beyond.

"Vauxhall’s marketing expertise will also ensure that our supporters and media partners can look forward to many exciting initiatives involving the national teams.”

Vauxhall Managing Director Duncan Aldred said: "It is a great honour for us to be partnering with the Scottish FA.

"As the number one-selling car brand in Scotland, we are totally committed to helping bring success to all the national Scottish teams.

"Football and cars are two of our nation's biggest passions and this partnership is a clear and unequivocal sign that Vauxhall is firmly behind not only a successful Scottish senior team but is also committed to supporting grass roots initiatives across all levels of the game."

Craig Levein, Scotland National Coach, said: “I am delighted to welcome Vauxhall as our new National Team Sponsor.

"On behalf of the squad and the rest of my backroom staff, I look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with such an iconic brand.”

Today's announcement completes a clean sweep of home nation sponsorships for Vauxhall.
