DHL delivers Leicester extension

Global logistics company DHL has extended its partnership with English Premier League football club Leicester City.

Under the agreement, DHL will continue to serve as the Premier League champion’s official logistics partner during the 2016-17 campaign. The renewal takes the partnership into a fourth year.

The company will support Leicester during its Premier League season and debut Uefa Champions League campaign, and is also backing the club during the ongoing International Champions Cup pre-season tournament.

Phil Couchman, chief executive of DHL Express UK & Ireland, said: “The Foxes are now a global brand, playing matches around the world, supported by fans on every continent. We are looking forward to developing our partnership this season and supporting LCFC with their international success.”

DHL first partnered with Leicester ahead of the 2013-14 season.
