The Scottish FA is excited to today welcome Rexel UK as the latest partner for the association and the Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup.
Rexel, who are the United Kingdom's leading distributors of electrical products and solutions with over 90 years of expertise in the industry, boast an extensive network that includes over 250 branches across the UK, with 24 in Scotland, offering national, regional and local account management.
Through their partnership, Rexel are proud to support football clubs, fans and communities across the country, offering ticket giveaways, exclusive access - with trophy and legend appearances in branches - and community engagement, aiming to highlight the positive impact of local initiatives and grassroots football.
Rexel UK are committed to highlighting the positive impact of local initiatives and will provide kits for a number of grassroots football clubs, with the partnership aiming to power local communities around the 130 competing sides.
Aberdeen lifted the Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup in May with a thrilling penalty shoot-out victory over Celtic as the Dons got their hands on the trophy for the first time since 1990.
Brendan Napier, Scottish Football Marketing’s Commercial Director, said: “We are passionate about the development of every aspect of Scottish football, from a thriving grassroots scene to the senior national teams.
“Our partners must authentically share our enthusiasm and, from the off, that has clearly been the case with Rexel UK. Like us, they appreciate that the power of football extends far beyond the pitch, to the hearts and minds of communities across the country.
“We’re excited to have them on board, not only with the Scottish FA in general but as an official partner of the Scottish Gas Men’s Scottish Cup.
“Our showpiece competition is all about unforgettable moments, and I have no doubt their backing of our domestic game will help unlock a few more of those.”
Natalie Moss, Chief Digital Marketing & Transformation Officer, Rexel UK: “We're incredibly proud to deepen our commitment to football through this significant partnership.
"This collaboration goes far beyond the pitch; it's about investing in the heart of our communities, nurturing talent, creating unforgettable experiences and ultimately powering the dreams of individuals and families who live and breathe the game.”
