Main sponsor search for NCEL goes up a gear

24th January, 2025

The Northern Counties East Football League is stepping up its search for a flagship sponsor to become involved with the competition at the earliest opportunity.

It is a fantastic opportunity for a business, company or organisation to make an alliance with a league that is in its 43rd season and continues to go from strength to strength.

The NCEL is based at Steps 5 and 6 of the FA's National League System and it covers a wide geographical area with teams based in Derbyshire, East Riding, Lincolnshire, North Riding, Sheffield & Hallamshire and West Riding.

That gives any potential sponsor the ability to spread their message across a large part of the non-league scene on a regular basis in conjunction with a competition that is considered to be one of the most entertaining in English football.

The 2024/25 season has seen an average of over three-and-a-half goals per game witnessed by over 3,500 spectators on average per round of matches, underlining its reputation as an extremely well-respected non-league competition.

The sponsorship would also be a wonderful way of supporting every one of our 42 member clubs continue their great community work, an equally important aspect to our clubs and the league in general.

That is highlighted by the fact that there are over 900 teams affiliated to our member clubs with an estimated 25,000 registered players across all types of football.

As well as being part of all this activity, some of the other benefits of league sponsorship include:

* Prominent advertisement on the league's website, consistently ranked as one of the best websites in English non-league football, with a link to your own website.

* Advertisement boards at every ground

* Advertisements in every match programme

* Company name mentioned in national publications such as the weekly Non-League Paper

* League Handbook advert

* Directors Box hospitality at the NCEL League Cup Final

* Regular promotion on the league's social media channels including X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky and Threads.

It is a great time to take on the sponsorship as it promises to be an exciting next few years for the NCEL.

And, we look forward to forging together in a partnership with a sponsor in a deal that would be massively beneficial for all parties involved.

For more information, please contact the league's General Manager Matt Jones either by e-mail at matt.jones@ncel.org.uk or by phone on 07415 068996.

All declarations of interest will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
