An exceptional sponsorship collaboration between Nationwide Windows & Doors and Rugby Borough FC has significantly contributed to the growth and success of the club over the years, and this has been taken to the next level over the 2023-24 season.

Support provided by Nationwide has most recently enabled the club to rebrand its stadium, host a Football Festival, and inject substantial investment across its men’s, women’s, and youth teams. The club now has an incredible 87 teams in total!

“Nationwide has been a steadfast advocate of Rugby Borough Football Club for more than 20 years,” says Club Chairman Brian Dainty. “This enduring partnership has played a pivotal role in the club's growth, and we now have over 1,000 registered players.

“In 2023, they generously sponsored our Football Festival, a major event that drew around 200 teams across two weekends, something that really showed their commitment to community engagement.

“Nationwide has also made a substantial investment in our youth teams by sponsoring more than 700 training kits, not only enhancing the professional appearance of our young players, but also providing crucial financial support for their development.

“This exceptional sponsorship has played a pivotal role in the rebranding of our stadium, now officially named the Nationwide Windows Arena, with massive banners on display to greet visitors and create a lasting impression.

“The Nationwide Windows Arena hosts over 2,000 people each week, with an annual footfall exceeding 150,000, reinforcing Nationwide’s connection with the local community.”

Brian continues: “On behalf of the club, I’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Nationwide, with special appreciation to Daryl Cashmore and Dave Gomersall, who have been instrumental in fostering this relationship. Their dedication and support has played a vital role in the club’s success and growth.

“We are immensely grateful for the extraordinary sponsorship provided by Nationwide. It has helped to not only elevate the club's profile, but has also significantly contributed to the development and success of our teams. We look forward to many more years of collaboration, building on the foundations laid by Nationwide Windows.”
