Standard Chartered Bank sponsor of Liverpool football club. Standard Chartered Bank is to become the main sponsor of Liverpool football club after signing a four-year deal.  The partnership brought together "two highly successful organisations", said Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow.

The club said the deal aimed to step up Liverpool's profile in the lucrative Asian markets, as well as in Africa and the Middle East.

"Many branches in these countries will effectively be a shop window for Liverpool football club and a means of attracting more supporters to the cause," Mr Purslow said.

It is Liverpool's largest ever commercial agreement - with media reports suggesting it was worth £80m over four years.

Last week, Carlsberg retained its role as the official beer of the England national team and the FA Cup.

The news came on the day the British Medical Association (BMA) called for an end to alcohol sponsorship of sport.

    Hi there,
    London & Liverpool, 14 September 2009 - Liverpool FC and Standard Chartered Bank announced today they had agreed a four-year deal for the bank to become the club’s main sponsor - the largest commercial agreement in Liverpool’s history. The agreement, which starts in July 2010 and runs through to the end of the 2013-14 season, will see the bank’s name and logo appear on the Liverpool shirt.

    Liverpool FC is the most successful club in English football, enjoying a global following most recently evidenced in its highly successful pre-season tour of Singapore and Thailand. As official club sponsors, Standard Chartered will enjoy a major rights package which will provide the platform to significantly step up the Bank’s brand awareness across its core markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

    Standard Chartered PLC, listed on both London and Hong Kong stock exchanges, ranks among the top 25 companies in the FTSE-100 by market capitalisation. The bank has more than doubled its revenue and profits over the last five years and has performed consistently well, delivering record results throughout the recent financial crisis.

    Christian Purslow, Managing Director of Liverpool Football Club, commented:
    “This partnership brings together two highly successful organisations with a really strong cultural and strategic fit. The sponsorship opportunity attracted a huge level of interest from a wide array of globally recognised brands and in Standard Chartered we believe we have the ideal partner to move forward and help develop our global ambitions for the club. It is a real sign of the progress we have made at Liverpool that we have been able to secure the largest ever commercial deal in our history.”

    Peter Sands, Group Chief Executive of Standard Chartered PLC, said:

    “This is a great partnership. We are excited to be working with such a famous global brand as Liverpool Football Club for the next four years. This is an outstanding opportunity for Standard Chartered, our customers and shareholders, and for Liverpool, its players and fans"

    “We see many opportunities to continue growing our business, particularly as Asia, Africa and the Middle East are emerging from the global downturn more quickly than the West. This sponsorship will drive a step change in brand recognition in our key markets and will provide an additional catalyst for our business growth.”
