Norwich City’s decision to not dismiss Daniel Farke after their easy relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2019-20 season paid off rather seamlessly as they bounced back to the Big Time after just one season in the Championship. The Canaries have always been praised for their attractive brand of football under Farke, but this time the fans and the hierarchy would also prefer some results to go along with it. Here are Norwich City’s official Partners going into the 2021-22 season.
Following are the companies and organisations that are enjoying a strong branding presence across Norwich City’s physical and digital assets.
