Deloitte kicks off another season with GFA

Thursday 22 October 2020

Deloitte Guernsey will continue its sponsorship of the Guernsey Football Association once again this season.

The professional services firm has supported the GFA for 15 consecutive years and is its official community partner.

The sponsorship helps to support the association's work with the island's children, as well as the Deloitte Corbet Cup and Corbet Shield competitions, which began earlier this month.

“We are delighted that our long-term partnership with the GFA is continuing for the foreseeable future," said Partner at Deloitte, David Becker. "The work that the GFA does in schools and for young players through its programmes is growing every year, and we are proud to play a small part in making that happen.”

The GFA recently announced its primary school PE timetable for school years five and six, in partnership with the Guernsey Sports Commission and the School Sports Partnership.

“With the football season and school year both now up and running, the GFA development staff are looking forward to once again working across all local primary schools as part of the School Sports Partnership," added Chief Executive Officer of the GFA, Gary Roberts.

"We cannot underestimate the value in supporting physically literate and healthy children and the GFA is delighted to once again be playing a part in this initiative in partnership with Deloitte, and this support is greatly appreciated.

“It is also pleasing to see so many teams once again playing in the Deloitte Corbet Cup and Shield competitions. The competition is now synonymous with Deloitte, which is testament to the long-standing support provided by Deloitte to local football.”
