We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Hankook Tyre UK as our newest club sponsor, and the story behind this partnership makes it even more special. Hankook reached out to us. A globally recognised brand, with European headquarters right here on our doorstep in Daventry, chose to invest in our club and in the future of women and girls’ football at grassroots level. That means the world to everyone at Rugby Borough Women & Girls FC.

Who are Hankook?

You may already know the name from the world stage. Hankook Tyre is an official sponsor of both the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Europa Conference League, backing performance and ambition at the very top of the game. To have a brand of that scale align with our values and choose to invest in our community is something we genuinely could not be more proud of.

Paul Emery, Sales Director at Hankook Tyre UK, said:

“At Hankook, we are proud to support performance and ambition at every level of the game, as demonstrated by our role as an official sponsor of the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Europa Conference League. Sponsoring Rugby Borough Women & Girls FC would allow us to invest in the continued growth of women’s and girls’ football at grassroots level, champion local talent, and strengthen our connection with the community.”

What does this mean for our club?

Hankook’s sponsorship will kit out our brand new Under 8s Girls team in a full home and away kit. These young players are progressing from our Wildcats programme, and come September they will begin their league journey together as a team for the very first time. Knowing they will take to that pitch in their own proper kit, backed by a sponsor who believes in them, is incredibly exciting.

We are also in the middle of our next kit launch and we cannot wait to show you what is coming!

This partnership is about so much more than a kit. It is a statement of belief in what we are building here at Rugby Borough Women & Girls FC, in the talent coming through our pathway, and in the power of community sport to change lives. Having Hankook Tyre UK stand alongside us as we grow is something we will not take for granted.

A huge thank you to the team at Hankook Tyre UK. We are so glad to have you with us. Here’s to the journey ahead!
