BT has signed a series of deals to become the exclusive lead partner of all Home Nations football teams until 2024. The partnership with all four nations will see the BT logo appear on training kit worn by Men’s, Women’s, Youth and Disability Teams from November*.

Extending BT’s partnership with The FA, BT will now support all UK Home Nations, partnering with the SFA, FAW and the IFA. BT’s partnership with all nations will start in November when the men’s and women’s teams will be aiming to cement their place at next summer’s Euro 2020 and continue the qualification process for Euro 2021 tournaments respectively.

More details about the broader ambitions of the partnerships will be revealed in the coming months and is part of a wider new BT brand and sponsorship strategy, to champion the UK.

The partnership is designed to ensure BT’s commitment is visible at all stages of international football - from the men’s, women’s and disability national teams to youth national teams. It will also help the Scottish FA in its objective to inspire future generations of national team players and supporters.”

Jonathan Ford, Chief Executive of the Football Association of Wales, said: “The FAW are delighted BT will become exclusive Lead Partner of our National teams. We are really excited about this partnership developing with the expertise and services that BT have to offer.”
