Nottingham Forest have announced a partnership with UNHCR, who will appear as the club’s shirt sponsor for the rest of the season.
The Premier League club join forces with the UN Refugee Agency to support people fleeing conflicts around the world.
Forest will also make a financial donation to the charity to support relief efforts internationally and help raise awareness of UNHCR’s humanitarian work.
Following their return to the Premier League this season, the club had been without a shirt sponsor for their opening 15 matches but will now carry the UNHCR logo on the front of their shirts for all men’s and women’s fixtures from the start of 2023 to the end of the campaign.
“We are delighted that for the remainder of the season we will use the front of the famous Nottingham Forest shirt to tell such an important story,” said Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis. “It will be an honour to display their name on our shirt in support of this important cause.
He added: “I hope fans of Nottingham Forest will also be proud that we have chosen to highlight the work of UNHCR for the remainder of the season, in addition to the local causes our Community Trust supports.
"This comes at a time when the world faces enormous challenges in helping the most vulnerable people in society.”
Charlotte Boyle, Chair of UK for UNHCR added: “From fighting racism and homophobia, to standing with refugees, football clubs around the world are using their power to confront discrimination and support people in need.
"We are hugely grateful to Nottingham Forest’s generosity and compassion in supporting refugees and UNHCR’s relief efforts around the world.
"Through this solidarity, Nottingham Forest is sending a powerful message to families fleeing conflict that they will not be forgotten.”
