The co-chairmen commented, «We are seeking sponsors that align with the spirit of the Wrexham Association Football Club and the town of Wrexham. We could think of no better sponsor for the next phase than United Airlines. The team, the town, and fans around the world are united as never before, and United Airlines is committed to elevating our story and journey.»
Josh Earnest, Chief Communications Officer of United Airlines, said, «The story of Wrexham AFC and its fans represents the best of what professional sports have to offer. The passion and perseverance of this rising team have captured the imagination of people in the U.S. and around the world. When Wrexham AFC players deliver even more exciting moments this season, we couldn’t be prouder that United Airlines will be written across their chests.
This summer, Wrexham AFC will travel across the Atlantic on United flights for its American tour, the first time in the Club’s history that the first team will travel to the United States.
The airline’s loyal customers will have special access to Wrexham AFC matches in the U.S. and in Wales through its MileagePlus Exclusives platform, and United is working with the club on additional ways to support the local community from a philanthropic perspective.
Humphrey Ker, CEO of Wrexham AFC, said, “We are delighted that United Airlines is the new shirt sponsor of the Club. Their desire to provide first-class service to customers makes them the airline of choice for many Wrexham fans in the U.S.
This summer, United will fly non-stop to 37 cities in Europe, Africa, India, and the Middle East, including London, Dubai, Malaga, Stockholm, Amman, Tenerife, Ponta Delgada, Azores, and Mallorca, as well as more flights to some of the most popular destinations in Europe, such as Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, and Shannon.
