West Ham United have announced that Lycamobile, the largest global provider of low-cost international mobile calls, will continue as the Club’s Official Partner for the next three years.
To mark the launch of the new partnership, Joint-Chairman David Gold, and players Mark Noble, Diafra Sakho and Winston Reid hosted Lycamobile global MVNOs Chairman Subaskaran Allirajah on a tour of the Club’s new Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Lycamobile has been an official partner of the Club since the 2012/13 campaign and the renewal sees the deal extend to include the first two seasons in the new Stadium.
Founded in 2006, Lycamobile provides low-cost, high-quality data and voice services to over 12 million customers across 18 countries. Its sheer span, focus on customer service and innovative business strategy has seen it outgrow its competitor set; achieving greater coverage of the European population than any other network operator.
Its partnership with the Hammers has seen it host the Lycamobile Cup at the Boleyn Ground, allowing local youngsters the opportunity of a lifetime to play on the hallowed turf, following in the famous footsteps of their Hammers heroes, as well as launching the co-branded Hammers SIM, which raised funds for the Club’s Foundation.
Commenting on the new deal, West Ham United Joint-Chairman David Gold said: “We are delighted to be extending our partnership with Lycamobile for the next three years. They will be joining us on the exciting journey from the Boleyn Ground to our fantastic new Stadium in Stratford, building on the great success we have already enjoyed in the three years we have worked together.”
Subaskaran Allirajah, Chairman of Lycamobile said, “We are so incredibly proud to be part of the West Ham success story, to extend our partnership for a further three seasons, and see this great club take its well-deserved place in this iconic ground, home of the 2012 Olympic Games.”
As well as sponsorship of West Ham United Football Club, Lycamobile proudly supports the West Ham Foundation as part of its mission to bring communities together. www.lycamobile.com
