Scottish FA expands Specsavers collaboration

The Scottish Football Association (SFA) has signed a new partnership that designates Specsavers as its eye and ear care partner.

Although the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is reportedly worth seven figures over your years, according to regional media outlets.

The agreement covers the Scotland men’s and women’s national football teams, as well as Scottish match officials.

The optician, which is headquartered in St. Andrews, has sponsored the SFA’s match officials since 2002.

Jennifer Stephenson, Chair of Specsavers Scotland, said, “We are proud to be the Scottish FA’s longest-standing sponsor, supporting grassroots referee training, promoting respect for match officials and ensuring their optimal vision and hearing through regular tests.

“Our funding has played a pivotal role in nurturing new referee talent and investing in training and development. While our support of match officials will continue, this new sponsorship deal will enable us to have an even bigger impact as we support the beautiful game in Scotland.”
