In addition to existing sponsors Samsung and adidas, the club’s European kit will also feature the logo of our global charity partner, Right To Play – a humanitarian organisation using sport and play to help tackle disease, poverty and conflict in 20 countries around the world. The logo will feature on the back of the shirts throughout the remainder of the European campaign.
