Ireland to Announce Revolut Kit Sponsor Deal
Feb 14, 2024, by Chris
- New Sponsor: The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) is reportedly set to announce Revolut as the new main sponsor for the men's national team.
- Kit Sponsorship: Revolut's logo will appear on the front of Ireland's football kits sold to the public, although it cannot be worn during matches due to UEFA/FIFA rules.
- Kit Release: New Ireland kits with the Revolut sponsor are likely to be released for the March 2024 games, and the women's team has a different sponsor.
After a wait of almost four years, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has finally found a new sponsor for the men's national team, according to reports from Irish newspapers.
Revolut to Become Ireland's Main Sponsor - Kits to Be Sold With Main Sponsor Only?
Global payments company Revolut is said to be in the leading position to secure the sponsorship deal for the front of the Ireland football kit.
Of course, Ireland will not wear the Revolut sponsor in games, as this is forbidden by UEFA's and FIFA's rules for football equipment. It "just" means that Ireland's kits will be sold with the Revolut logo, which will be also visible in the launch and promo pics.
It seems likely that Castore will release new Ireland kits for the 2024 March games. Ireland is not qualified for the Euro 2024.
The Ireland Women's national team is sponsored by Sky and a deal that will run until the end of 2025. Three had been Ireland's Men's sponsor before.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
