Digital bank Chase has today been announced as the Official
Banking Partner of the Home Nations Football Teams.
Chase will be working with the England, Northern Ireland,
Scotland and Wales Men’s, Women’s, Youth & Para national teams,
across a four-year period. The partnerships will see the Chase logo
appear on training kit worn by the Men’s and Women’s teams.
At the heart of the partnerships, Chase will be supporting
individuals across the U.K. from low income backgrounds* by
providing access to fully funded coaching qualifications and free
learning tools, helping to develop transferable skills for life on
and off the football pitch. More detail will be revealed when the
programme is launched in the coming weeks.
The new partnerships build on Chase’s ongoing investment in
community-based programmes, and extends JPMorgan Chase’s
decades-long support for local communities in the U.K., where it
employs over 22,000 people.
Through this sponsorship and Chase’s existing partnership with
the National Literacy Trust, Chase aims to empower individuals by
improving access to the resources and tools they need to unlock
their potential and help build pathways towards future
employment.
Chase will also be providing opportunities for customers to get
closer to the national teams through memorable experiences at
matches and training grounds.
Deborah Keay, U.K. Chief Marketing Officer at Chase, said,
“Football has the unique ability to drive positive societal change,
bringing together millions of people across every corner of the
U.K. We are excited to be working with the Home Nations to use the
power of football to support individuals and communities across
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. We recognise there
are barriers that can make obtaining coaching qualifications
difficult for many. By supporting individuals with access to the
right resources and tools they need to succeed, we can help people
develop key life skills on and off the pitch that will have a
positive impact on their lives.”
Mark Bullingham, FA Chief Executive, said: "Our new partnership
with Chase is an exciting opportunity that will help us to develop
the next generation of coaching talent across all levels of English
football. Importantly, this collaborative programme will directly
support people from disadvantaged communities across the country
who wish to pursue a future in football coaching. Together, we will
create a new pathway for aspiring coaches by providing access to
fully funded courses and free training resources so that they can
achieve a range of industry leading qualifications."
Scottish FA Chief Executive Ian Maxwell, said: “We look forward
to kicking off this exciting partnership with Chase that will not
only support our national teams, but some of Scotland’s most
committed grassroots coaches of today and tomorrow.
“We talk regularly about the power of football making an impact
on and off the pitch – whether it’s our talented players striving
to inspire the nation, or the game itself making a real difference
in everyday life across a host of areas. Those are ambitions we
share with Chase. Our national teams have a lot to look forward to
in the coming months and I know our Coach Education team is looking
forward to supporting Chase in their community work.”
Noel Mooney, CEO, from The FAW, said: “The FAW is incredibly
excited to partner with Chase, who will help the nation develop
important life skills and increase opportunities through the
provision of access to fully funded coaching qualifications for
people from low income backgrounds. Football is a powerful tool,
and we see the positive impact that it has on people throughout
Cymru and with this fantastic new partnership we can reach even
more people and communities to provide them with the skills to help
us make Welsh football even stronger.”
Irish Football Association chief executive, Patrick Nelson,
said: "This partnership will provide added value to different parts
of our operation, which is really exciting. We know that our senior
teams attract significant attention, and rightly so. But we are
committed to enhancing the skillset of individuals right across our
football family and the bursary for aspiring coaches that comes as
part of our partnership with Chase, an organisation that shares our
vision and values here at the Irish FA, will really help us
continue to do that."
