Isle of Man Football reaches its goal

Big changes are afoot for Isle of Man football this coming season when the League, which has been called Division One since 1951 will become the Premier League to align itself with the UK and at the same time has teamed up with a major sponsor for the next three years, Sure Mobile, the island’s newest mobile operator.

Sure Mobile, part of Cable & Wireless International, launched in the Isle of Man four weeks ago with its innovative range of products and services and leading edge Conran designed store in Strand Street and is now one of the best known brands on the island.

Simon Last Sutton, Commercial Director for Sure Mobile in the Isle of Man said, “We are delighted to be sponsoring the new Sure Mobile Premier League, and feel that we have great deal in common with the IoM Football Association. This is a new beginning for both organisations and team work plays a vital role at Sure Mobile. Getting involved in the local community is very important to us as shown by our previous sponsorship of the TT and Peel Bay Festival – and by supporting football on the island we can really give something back on a long term basis.”

Tony Jones President of the IoM Football Association said, “We are extremely excited about the launch of the new Sure Mobile Premier League and feel that Sure Mobile is the prefect partner to join us at this time. We are looking forward to working closing together over the next three years. Much of the work of the IoM Football Association is carried out by volunteers so sponsorship is key to the ongoing success of football on the island. We are very grateful for the support Sure Mobile has given us.”
