The partnership with EFL is Jameson\u2019s first foray into English professional football and builds on the brand\u2019s work within the grassroots football space following its ongoing nationwide sponsorship of the biggest small-side pitch provider in the UK, Powerleague.<\/p>\n

As an Official Partner of the EFL, Jameson will have a presence with all 72 Member Clubs across the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two, along with the EFL\u2019s five Wembley finals. Additionally, the brand will have a presence on the EFL website, digital and social media channels. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n

Team captain, Adebayo Akinfenwa <\/strong>said: \u201cJameson and the EFL \u2013 what a combination. To have a big brand like Jameson come on board really shows the attraction of the EFL.<\/p>\n

\u201cForget your Premier League and League Cup trophies and your Player of the Year awards, being part of the Jameson Kick Off Quiz Night has been a real career highlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately I just couldn\u2019t get the win over Mr Dublin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n

Fellow team captain, Maisie Adam<\/strong> added: \u201cI\u2019ve had good old fashioned time tonight, and it\u2019s really cool to see a brand like Jameson supporting football clubs that are integral to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cJameson are all about \u2018togetherness\u2019, if you look at the panel tonight, you can see three ex-footballers, a TV presenter, a comedian and two magazine editors chatting football. To me, that\u2019s bringing people together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a dream to represent Leeds on the panel tonight. I think we\u2019re all looking forward to an exciting new season ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n
