McDONALD’S are to sponsor Suffolk FA across three different areas in the 2019-20 season.

The sponsorship will cover the forthcoming Awards Ceremony as well as the Suffolk Primary Cup and the new Female Leadership Academy.

It will be the second year that McDonald’s have jointly sponsored the Awards Ceremony at Portman Road with Ransomes Jacobsen, but the first time that they have sponsored a county cup competition.

The McDonald’s Suffolk Primary Cup will kick-off this weekend with three first-round ties.

Further details regarding the Suffolk FA Female Leadership Academy will be announced in due course.

McDonald’s franchisee Carol Rogerson said: “We are delighted to strengthen our association with Suffolk FA through our sponsorship of the Primary Cup and Female Leadership Academy, in addition to supporting the Awards Ceremony again this season.

“We look forward to working with Richard Neal and his team over the course of this season for the benefit of grassroots football in the county.”

Suffolk FA Chief Executive Richard Neal said: “Carol and her team have been excellent partners of Suffolk FA over a number of years now, and I’m delighted McDonald’s commitment to A Thriving Local Game in Suffolk will continue this season.”
