DROGHEDA AND VOLKSWAGEN UNITED IS BORN

Volkswagen Drogheda named as the Official Mobility Partner of Drogheda United FC

Two of the Western Motors Group brands join forces as the Mobility Partner of Drogheda United Football Club.

The Volkswagen Passenger Cars and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle brands have come together to ensure the club travel in style in 2023, providing a new Volkswagen Caddy Maxi for the Team Kit Van and a Volkswagen T-Roc R-Line Plus as the Senior Team vehicle.

The Volkswagen brands at Western Motors are well known and respected names in the industry and in the locality. Both brands also proudly showcase their growing electric vehicles with the ID. Range, and the excitement of the new ID. Buzz and we are looking to test driving and exploring these vehicles in the coming months.

Hubert Murphy, Drogheda United FC General Manager said “As with all sports, sponsorship is a vital component of our survival and the key to continued growth of the club is to bring in partners who share our vision for the future of the club and the town.  We are delighted to have obtained this generous support from such high profile and successful brands and with the support of the great team at Western Motors Volkswagen Drogheda, we feel this is a partnership that can grow and blossom in the future.”

Marketing Manager at Western Motors, Brona Reilly added, “We are delighted to announce the beginning of our partnership with Drogheda United FC.  We feel our support will help the club to maintain a high standard and professional image – an objective consistent with the Western Motors and Volkswagen brands. What many people do not know is that Volkswagen is not only the largest car manufacturer in Europe and on the way to becoming a leading mobility service provider, but it also makes considerable contributions to its commitments to national sport and culture. At Western Motors we know the importance of giving back to our local communities and the whole team here at Volkswagen Drogheda are looking forward to cheering on the DUFC teams throughout 2023.”
