Cadbury has announced its partnership with the Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team, in a bid to “raise awareness” of the game across Ireland.
The campaign is set to be promoted with the motto “a player and a half deserves a glass and a half of support”, and will see the company support the team from grassroots level and beyond.
The producer added that it will be enhancing training facilities and raising the profile of women’s players throughout the country.
As part of the launch, the partnership will see Cadbury provide new kit for the senior women’s team at National Team captain Katie McCabe’s former club, Raheny United FC.
