ESET will continue to work in the Safer Kids Online programme and also support the club’s matchday social content which includes goal GIFs, post-match manager interviews and sponsoring matchday streams for non-first-team fixtures played at Bournemouth’s home stadium, Vitality Stadium.

ESET will also continue on in their role of an Official Partner of the AFC Bournemouth women’s team and the women’s team’s back-of-shirt sponsor, which will see them have their logo present on the women’s team’s playing kits. Additionally, they will also serve as The Net’s, AFC Bournemouth’s free-to-join business club, Official Partner.
