Nottingham Forest finally announce shirt sponsor for remainder of season as Premier League side agree partnership with refugee charity UK for UNHCR


Nottingham Forest have announced a new shirt sponsor partnership with refugee charity UK for UNHCR.

The Premier League outfit have not had a sponsor since the start of the season, with BOXT being their most recent one in their previous campaign in the Championship.

However, this is now set to change as Forest have revealed their new affiliation with the UN refugee agency, whose logo with adorn their shirts for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.

UK for UNHCR provide help and support to those around the world who are escaping either conflict and persecution.

Their logo will be worn by both the men’s and women’s sides at the club to show their solidarity towards affected families.

Forest have also made a financial contribution to the charity and will use all their ‘available commercial and marketing channels’ to raise awareness of the charity’s work.

Club owner Evangelos Marinakis said: “We are delighted that for the remainder of the season we will use the front of the famous Nottingham Forest shirt to tell such an important story.

“It will be an honour to display their name on our shirt in support of this important cause. I am proud to have partnered with the United Nations’ global work before, with Olympiacos FC back in 2013.

“We supported UNICEF for four years, choosing to make a significant financial contribution to their charitable work rather than taking income from a sponsor, and giving their cause prominence on the front, and then the back, of the Olympiacos shirt.

“I hope fans of Nottingham Forest will also be proud that we have chosen to highlight the work of UNHCR for the remainder of the season, in addition to the local causes our Community Trust supports.

“This comes at a time when the world faces enormous challenges in helping the most vulnerable people in society.”

Forest’s first outing with their new sponsor is set to come on New Year’s Day when they host Chelsea in the Premier League.

Steve Cooper’s side returned to action after the World Cup on Wednesday night, winning 4-1 against Blackburn in the Carabao Cup.
