Lavazza to serve exclusively at Arsenal and Liverpool Football Club

The Lavazza Group has announced two new local UK partnership signings, becoming the official coffee partner for both Arsenal and Liverpool Football Club. The new partnerships will unite the excellence of authentic Italian coffee with that of English top flight football.

Over the coming three years, Lavazza will be the exclusive coffee supplier at both Emirates and Anfield Stadium. Lavazza’s product offering will include its new sustainable coffee blend for the food service segment, iTierra! Colombia, which will be available at c.150 boxes. This will be coupled with the premium single origin Kafa Forest Coffee which will be served in all VIP/player lounges and key points of sale within the stadiums.

Carlo Colpo, Lavazza global head of marketing communication, stated: “As part of our marketing strategy we are delighted to partner locally with Arsenal and Liverpool FC, two English top flight teams ranked among the ‘Top 20 most valuable sports brands’ in the world (Powa Index 2018). Two teams that share with Lavazza the same passion for excellence, innovation and tradition.” He added, “These multi-faceted partnerships will see select players from both clubs as protagonists of localised versions of the new Lavazza global advertising campaign, which will be premiered first in the UK market at the end of November.”

David Rogers, Lavazza UK managing director, comments: “At Lavazza UK, we are immensely proud to be further strengthening our presence in the United Kingdom through new partnerships with two of English football’s greatest teams.  It is a move that allows us to reach consumers with our authentic Italian coffee experiences not only first-hand in the stadiums, but also through a multitude of other touchpoints year-round, potentially reaching tens of millions of fans.”
