The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) are delighted to announce a new agreement with DHL Express Ireland that will extend DHL’s role as Official Logistics Partner for a further four years.

The extended partnership will see DHL Express Ireland continue to provide their logistical expertise across all levels of Irish football as a key partner of the FAI since the mid-1990s and will see DHL deliver for the Ireland Men’s and Women’s Senior Teams, as well as all international squads. 

DHL will also support the FAI’s Football in Schools initiative as part of the Me & My Ball programme – ensuring that free footballs are delivered to every primary school nationwide.

Commenting on the announcement, Brian Murray, Commercial & Same Day Director, DHL Express Ireland, said: “We are delighted to renew this longstanding partnership and reconfirm our commitment to providing our unparalleled logistics expertise to the FAI. As Official Logistics Partner to the FAI for nearly 30 years, we have been proud to support Irish international football at all levels.

"More recently with the addition of the Ireland Women’s National Team and the Primary School initiative ‘Me and My Ball’, DHL has reinforced our long-term commitment not just to Irish football but to the communities it serves.  

"As a logistics partner we know the value of teamwork, reliability and performance – qualities we are proud to support on and off the pitch”. 

FAI Commercial Director Sean Kavanagh said: “It is fantastic to continue our long-standing partnership with DHL who have made a significant contribution to Irish football over the past few decades. DHL play a vital role for our international teams ensuring we have our product and kit no matter where we are playing around the world and we are excited to continue that work together.”
