AFC Bournemouth extend ESET partnership

AFC Bournemouth have announced a two-season extension of their partnership with cybersecurity company ESET.

The deal will see ESET remain the English club’s Official Cybersecurity Partner, having joined their portfolio during the 2019/20 season. ESET will continue to work on the “Safer Kids Online” programme and support the club’s matchday social content, which includes goal GIFs, post-match manager interviews, and matchday streams for non-first-team fixtures played at their home ground, the Vitality Stadium.

ESET will also remain an official partner of the Bournemouth women’s team and serve as their back-of-matchday-shirt sponsor.

Rob Mitchell, Commercial Director, AFC Bournemouth, said:

“We’re delighted to extend our partnership with ESET for a further two seasons. They’re an expert partner that we love working alongside for the good of the club and the community in BCP.”

Matt Knell, Country Manager UK at ESET, stated:

“We’ve built a trusted partnership with AFC Bournemouth and are excited to extend our collaboration into the next season and beyond. As their dedicated cybersecurity provider, we deliver multilayered digital protection so the club can focus on performance on the pitch. With off-pitch defence more important than ever, we’re proud to provide that foundation. We look forward to working even more closely in the season ahead and supporting future success.”

ESET, originally a Slovak company, has the headquarters for its British division based in Bournemouth.
