La Liga to become official sponsor of Welsh village club Llanfairpwll
La Liga Strikes Unusual Shirt Sponsorship Agreement with Welsh Fifth-Tier Side
In a surprising turn of events, La Liga has secured a one-year shirt sponsorship deal with an unlikely partner – Clwb Pel Droed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Football Club. Holding the record for the longest name in world football, this fifth-tier Welsh club will proudly display their full name on their badge. However, they are more commonly known as Llanfairpwll.
The prestigious Spanish top flight boasts renowned players such as Frenkie de Jong, Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric and Robert Lewandowski. Now, their logo will grace the front of both home and away shirts worn by this North Wales Coast West League Division One team based in Anglesey.
This groundbreaking partnership is set to bring further professionalism to Llanfairpwll’s side as they strive for success under manager Gwyndaf Hughes’ guidance. The team is excited to sport their new La Liga kit with pride starting this Saturday when they face island rivals Holyhead Town.
Llanfairpwll chairwoman Samantha Jones-Smith expressed her excitement for this exceptional collaboration, emphasizing its potential to enhance the club’s development both on and off the field. Securing a front-of-shirt partnership of this magnitude holds significant importance for Llanfairpwll, and with La Liga’s renowned reputation for footballing excellence, it proves to be an invaluable alliance in their journey towards success.
Interestingly enough, Llanfairpwll is not the first Welsh club to receive support from unexpected sources. Merthyr Town, a Southern League side, featured Vicky McClure and Jonny Owen’s production company BYO Films on their kit in 2021. Additionally, Hollywood star Naomi Watts became Glantraeth’s honorary president af
