Another key aspect of the membership is to be a part of the hugely successful and widely recognised Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme run by the NFM. With CSR a high priority on the business and government agenda, the NFM is seen as pioneering in terms of social inclusion, reaching out to new audiences and addressing the needs of disadvantaged sections of the community, and is therefore ideally placed to support corporate initiatives.

The membership offers considerable exposure. Your company name will be seen by hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, both on the sponsorship board at the NFM and on the official website. It will also be prominently displayed to the corporate community through the many events held at the museum.

The emotional potential of football is vast, making the NFM a five-star marketing platform from which a company can create awareness, enhance its image and foster goodwill. Our aim is to enable official partners to fully leverage the advantages of being an official sponsor to develop innovative and attractive marketing solutions.
