Sponsorships

Game Changers

Electric Ireland are the proud sponsor of women’s football across all levels in Northern Ireland, in partnership with the IFA.

In 2017 Electric Ireland launched “Game Changers”, a grassroots women’s football sponsorship with the Irish FA. In 2019 Electric Ireland expanded on the campaign to include the Senior Women’s team taking the campaign to a new level.  

Electric Ireland are truly committed to the partnership with the Irish FA and we hope that it will continue to evolve and change the game. We are clear in our objectives going forward, we will provide more opportunities for females to play football, increase media coverage of the female game and increase attendances at all Senior international games

Darkness into Light

Electric Ireland has been a long-term partner of the Darkness into Light walk 

The event, a 5km walk at the darkest hour before sunrise, raises awareness of suicide and vital funds for suicide prevention and usually takes place in early May on a Saturday morning. 

Darkness into Light, Pieta’s flagship fundraiser provides the opportunity to shine a light on the problem of suicide and has grown into a global event with over 200,000 walking in 2019. 

In Northern Ireland the event has grown over the last number of years from 9 walks across the province in 2018 to 12 in 2019 with more registered for 2020. 

GAA Minors

Electric Ireland is proud sponsor of the Official GAA minor Football and Hurling Championship and understands that for those involved This is Major. 

Minor players experience these same major moments, but the additional wisdom garnered from playing sport at national level will stand to them for a lifetime and across all facets of their lives. We want to share these insights proving once and for all ‘there’s nothing Minor about playing Minor’.  

Everybody remembers their late teens. It is a crucial time in life, full of excitement and promise on one hand and anxiety and pressure on the other. 

GAA Higher Education Competitions

Electric Ireland is the proud sponsor of the GAA Higher Education Competitions. This sponsorship was developed to raise the profile of the HEC competitions and create excitement around the games 

In GAA, it’s all about your place of birth. School against school. Village against village. Parish against parish. County against county. It’s all dictated by the place of birth.  The Third Level Team is the only team that isn’t predetermined by place of birth.  It is a team of different peers, shaped from a shared journey. Where traditional enemies become teammates and familiar foes become firm friends.  What they share is a desire to win together… 

We are proud to support the Electric Ireland Fitzgibbon and Sigerson Tournaments.
