MSP Capital confirms further two years sponsorship of AFC Bournemouth

Poole-based MSP Capital is once again the principal partner and front of shirt sponsor for AFC Bournemouth’s men’s first-team home, away and third shirts, for a further two years.

The new shirts, released by the club on July 16, have MSP’s logo on the front of all three designs.

They will be available to pre-order soon in both adult and child sizes.

During the 2020/21 season the partnership resulted in several collaborations to help the community.

These included giving away shirts and sports equipment to local clubs during the pandemic.

Both MSP Capital and AFC Bournemouth are looking to help the local area again with plans already taking shape.

Adam Tovey, Valuation Director at MSP Capital and a life-long Cherries fan, said: “MSP are excited to be continuing our partnership with AFC Bournemouth as their principal shirt partner.

“They’ve been on such an incredible trajectory over the last decade and we’re proud to be part of that journey with them.

“This partnership means more to us than just a shirt.

“It’s important for the club to work with organisations like MSP that share similar values and that are committed to supporting the local community as we do.
