More than ever soccer and sponsorships seem to go hand in hand. Every league club has their sponsor proudly displayed across the front of their jerseys and throughout their stadiums. Companies have found that this type of advertising can be most beneficial as sport fans tend to be highly brand loyal. There is also the aspect of the brand being seen live in person at the soccer pitch, or seen when watching the game online or tv, or even seeing fans wearing a jersey with the brand around town.
The Select League is no different and offers many unique sponsorship opportunities. For our league club games, each team has the opportunity to display a sponsor as mentioned above. This will give the sponsoring company firsthand exposure on the jerseys. Our games will also be replayed as much as possible online via our website where the company brand can be seen on the jerseys, around the soccer pitch and even during pre, post and halftimes of games.
For our Select World Cup tournament, the opportunity to have the brand emblazoned on the jersey won't be there, but the sponsor of each international team will have commercial time during aired games and signs around the pitch during the game. The Select World Cup trophy, while won by the team, will be retained permanently by the team's sponsor. Sponsors for the Select World Cup teams would be most beneficial to any business or cultural group that has some affiliation with the sponsored country. For instance, a German themed shop would be a great sponsor of the German team. Or a local Brazilian cultural/heritage group for the Brazilian team.
What would sponsorship entail? It would depend on what the team works out with the sponsor. Typically, it may include the cost of the referees for the year, uniforms, or field rental costs
