Nissan has renewed its Official Vehicle Partner arrangement with the Football Association of Ireland for a new three-year term up to 2026.

Nissan first became an FAI partner in September 2019.

The deal calls for Nissan suppling a fleet of 55 vehicles to FAI development officers and other personnel working across Ireland to promote football and to attract girls and boys of all ages and abilities to play the game.

The total value of the vehicles is €2m.

Seamus Morgan, managing director of Nissan Ireland, commented: “We want to see even more coaching programmes taking place in schools, clubs and communities across Ireland

“We are helping the FAI to hit that goal and our fleet of electrified vehicles will support its development officers as they travel thousands of kilometres across Ireland each year to grow the sport.”

Men's National Team manager Stephen Kenny (pictured) said: “Nissan have been a great supporter over the last few years, providing cars to our coaches up and down the country which is a great resource for every development officer and high performance member of staff."

FAI CEO Jonathan Hill said the partnership has helped the FAI to transition to a more sustainable fleet and to reduce its carbon footprint.
