Carlsberg Breweries has renewed its partnership with Champions League winners Liverpool as ‘Official Club Sponsor’ for a further two years until the end of the 2006/07 season.

Keld Strudahl, senior international marketing director, Carlsberg Breweries, said: “Carlsberg’s continued involvement with the club enables us to jointly build on our relationships with the international fan community which is stronger than ever following the amazing win in Istanbul.”

The contract ensures a global reach including the Far East, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe markets, as well as the core markets of Western Europe.

Carlsberg is ‘Official Sponsor of UEFA EURO 2008’, as well as ‘Official Beer of the England Team’, The FA Cup together with many deals with clubs across the Premier League and the Football League.
