New sponsor for Women's League Cup announced
Subway®, one of the world’s largest restaurant brands, is
partnering with the Women’s Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL) to become the
Official Title Partner of the Women’s League Cup in the UK following a
multi-year deal.
As a result, the competition will be renamed the Subway®
Women’s League Cup from this season. This partnership ensures the continued
growth of women’s football, driving investment into a marquee moment whilst
also supporting Subway’s work in communities across the UK that champion active
lifestyles and increase accessibility to the sport.
Subway’s multi-year partnership with the Women’s League Cup
marks the expansion of Subway’s “Fresh Moves” initiative into football.
Launched in early 2024, “Fresh Moves” focuses on promoting physical activity
through partnerships with sports organisations on a growth journey, such as GB
Basketball, Breaking GB, and Skateboard GB.
“The partnership with WPLL represents a significant step
forward in our Fresh Moves initiative,” said Kirstey Elston, EMEA Brand &
UK & Ireland Marketing Director at Subway. “By partnering with the Women’s
League Cup, we’re not just investing in a well-established domestic
competition, we’re investing in the future of women’s football, aligning with
our mission to make sport more inclusive and accessible in the UK.”
“We are thrilled that Subway have come on board as Title
Partner for the Women’s League Cup as we continue on our journey to build the
most distinctive, competitive and entertaining women’s football club cup
competition in the world.” said Nikki Doucet, CEO of WPLL. “We need partners
like Subway who believe in our vision to transform the game and are committed
to developing opportunities both on and off the pitch for women in football”.
