Sligo GAA unveiled its new 2021 jersey and kit at a photocall at AbbVie’s Manorhamilton Road facility in Sligo today. 

The biopharmaceutical company, which employs more than 400 people across two manufacturing plants near Sligo town, commenced an initial three-year sponsorship deal in 2016 with Sligo GAA. It saw the AbbVie logo appear on all Senior, U-20 and Junior football team jerseys, and this partnership was extended in 2019 until the end of the 2021 season.

AbbVie is also the sponsor of the Sligo LGFA senior ladies’ football team. AbbVie continues to be the only multinational pharmaceutical company in Ireland to sponsor an inter-county team, regardless of gender, underscoring the company’s support of local communities and sports organisations.
