EMIRATES, FORCE CELEBRATE A “REMARKABLE RELATIONSHIP”

Emirates Western Force has acknowledged the wonderful contribution of naming rights partner Emirates following the completion of an eight-year partnership.

Emirates, one of the world’s premier airline carriers, has been the naming rights partner since the club’s inaugural Super Rugby season in 2006.

RugbyWA CEO Mark Sinderberry says Emirates has been a key part of the club’s strong and committed supporter base.

“We want our corporate partners to have a passion for the Force and an involvement with the club and that benchmark has been set with Emirates in what has been a remarkable relationship,” he said.

“The club and Emirates have enjoyed a close relationship over the past eight years and as we move forward we’re looking for another partner with whom we can align objectives and grow our businesses together.

“We’re driven to facilitate growth and provide a genuine return on investment for all our valued partners, and we will continue to do that as we enter a new and exciting chapter for the club.

“This is the first time since 2006 that the front-of-jersey opportunity has been available and our discussions with a number of potential major partners are already quite advanced and continuing.

“Emirates has been a fantastic supporter of the Force from the outset and I’d like to thank Darren Tyrrell and everyone at Emirates who has contributed to this relationship over an extended period of time.”

Emirates Regional Manager WA Darren Tyrrell says his organisation has enjoyed being associated with Emirates Western Force.

“We are immensely proud of the long and mutually beneficial relationship we’ve built with the Emirates Western Force over the past eight seasons,” he said. “We’ve enjoyed being a part of the team and I’d like to thank the club and its members for supporting us so whole-heartedly.”

Nothing of the sort.

At the members forum last week, the CEO mentioned that due to the alliance with Qantas and the way Emirates previously used their sponsorship to gain mileage has changed their landscape, they may not be the main sponsors, however they will likley still be around in a smaller partnership capacity.
