Chelsea

Yokohama-backed Chelsea FC secured more major silverware last week, with a victory at Belfast’s Windsor Park in the European Super Cup. In the first ever competitive fixture between the two teams, it sat all square at 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes and no further goals were added in extra time. The Blues went on to lift the trophy for only the second time in the club’s history with a nail biting 6-5 penalty shootout victory.

Yokohama has ended its Chelsea shirt sponsorship after “five very successful years”. However, the Japanese tyre manufacturer will now be the team's Official Global Tyre Partner. Mobile network Three has since been named as the new shirt sponsors in a three-year deal. Three’s logo will appear on all of Chelsea’s shirts from 2020/21, including Chelsea Women and Academy sides as well as the men’s team.

Europa Cup Champions Chelsea and Yokohama have produced a video to help raise awareness of this year’s tyre safety month. Tyre safety month encourages motorists to carry out regular tyre safety checks such as ensuring their tyres are inflated to the correct pressure and they have adequate tread depth.
