Saracens seal StoneX extension
Saracens have cemented their relationship with StoneX following their latest sponsorship renewal.
The agreement will see the extension of StoneX’s stadium naming rights, with the partnership expanding to include the StoneX logo appearing on the front of the team’s shirts for the 2024/2025 season. This sees StoneX replace City Index on the Premiership rugby union club’s kits.
StoneX first partnered with Saracens in 2020 and moved to a naming rights deal in 2021 which was reported to surpass the £2m a year deal with previous sponsor Allianz.
The home of Saracens RFC has been voted as the top Premiership rugby matchday experience and will continue to host their men’s and women’s sides as well as top level university matches.
The financial services company is currently exploring a rebrand, which is likely to affect the name of the StoneX Stadium. This is expected to be confirmed by the time the Premiership kicks off in September.
Saracens men’s side have won the European Champions Cup three times and the Premiership five times in the last ten years. The women’s team has won the last two Premier XV titles.
Phillip Smith, CEO of StoneX Financial Ltd, said, “The club and StoneX are driven by a relentless commitment to achieving excellence, shared values, and a unified vision for the future.
“For both organisations, the phrase ‘pounding the rock’ is ubiquitous and one that both our professionals and Saracens players can relate to. This relationship is poised to evolve, reaching new heights, and continuing to make a significant impact both on and off the field.”
Saracens CEO, Mark Thompson added, “StoneX put their faith in our people at a challenging moment for both Saracens and the world.
“Given their extraordinary growth since then, to see them renew and extend that commitment to our club and community is truly humbling. We could not be more excited for the future of our partnership.”
