The National League has secured a much-needed financial boost after agreeing a new £4million title sponsorship deal with Vanarama.

The vehicle leasing company has extended a seven-year partnership with the National League – comprising of three divisions – until the end of the 2024-25 season.

The funds will be welcome given the National League North and South divisions were cancelled last month due to financial worries caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The National League voted to see the season out.

National League chairman Brian Barwick said: “We are delighted to continue our title sponsorship with Vanarama and thank them for their steadfast support during the past 12 months.

“This enhanced arrangement will take our partnership up to 11 years. That speaks volumes about the confidence we both have in each other.

“The National League has found a great organisation to work with and we are pleased Vanarama find the relationship to be equally rewarding. We all look forward to four more years growing our unique partnership.”
