A young football team has won a new sponsor as players continue their winning streak on the pitch
Specsavers in Victoria Square, Sainsbury and Middlebrook Retail Park have all agreed the deal to become Tiki Taka Lionesses Under 12s official kit sponsor, providing the team’s full home and away kits, including the signature red and white striped jerseys, shorts and socks as well as training tops.
The deal will also see Specsavers sponsor the Player of the Match and Trainer of the Week trophies.
Part of Tiki Taka Football Academy and playing in the Bolton Bury District Football League, the talented team of 11-year-olds - with the exception of two players - play up a year group (Under 12s) in the top division and are currently flying high at the top of the league and are unbeaten.
"As a local business we are passionate about supporting our local community, so to partner with Tiki Taka Lionesses, who are part of one the most successful girls football academies in the north-west, was an obvious one," said Robert Ogg, Specsavers Bolton store director.
‘It’s great to be supporting grassroots girls’ sports and also be involved with an amateur club where teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship are at its heart.
Peter Taylor, team manager, Tiki Taka Lionesses adds: "With more than 25 teams in the Tiki Taka Football Academy, it can be challenging to find sponsors, so we are absolutely thrilled that Specsavers has stepped in to fund the new kits. The girls look fantastic in their new strips and we’re confident that they’ll be keeping their eyes on the ball!"
