I got an interesting message from the Somerset Football Association this week. They have a number of sponsorship opportunities available and I thought these could be of interest to the readers of TheShirt2010.co.uk

We are the Somerset County Football Association, the official governing body for football in Somerset.
Established in 1885, we oversee the development, governance, and promotion of grassroots football across the county. Based in Glastonbury, we support over 400 clubs and thousands of teams, working to ensure the sport’s continued growth and integrity at the local level.

Our mission is:

The Somerset FA proudly supports a thriving football community made up of passionate players, clubs, teams, volunteers, and officials. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive game for everyone across the county.

We work hand-in-hand with local communities to create safe, positive environments where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can enjoy the beautiful game. Whether it’s helping a child take their first kick, supporting a volunteer coach, or delivering safeguarding and referee training, we are committed to developing every aspect of the game in Somerset.”

All sounds very impressive for a county association, perhaps even more so when you think that Somerset is not a place many of us would consider the hotbed of football. They tell me that they have a limited number exclusive sponsorship opportunities for local businesses.

Benefits include:

~ Brand exposure online & at events

~ Connecting & supporting grassroots football

~ England & FA Cup tickets

They have put together a very professional pack that is online here (No registration or similar!)

Hope that helps some of you. Please do let me know how you get on.
