Hansells Solicitors has signed a three-year partnership with Norfolk County Football Association, becoming its Official Legal Partner and headline sponsor of the Norfolk Youth County Cup competitions.
This collaboration reflects a joint commitment to grassroots football in Norfolk, supporting mixed and girls’ competitions at U12, U14, and U16 levels. Over the next three seasons, thousands of young players across the county will benefit from enhanced competitions and initiatives promoting respect and fair play.
As part of the partnership, Hansells and Norfolk FA are launching two new awards:
- The Respect Award – honouring clubs that lead by example in discipline, respect and behaviour.
- The Fair Play Award – recognising teams that demonstrate exceptional fair play and integrity.
Mark Scott, Legal Director at Hansells and Head of Dispute Resolution and Sports Law commented:
“We are delighted to partner with Norfolk FA and grassroots football. These competitions are a vital platform for young players, and by promoting respect and fair play, we aim to create a safe, inclusive environment for everyone involved in the game.”
Matt Carpenter, Chief Executive of Norfolk FA, added:
“This partnership is a huge step forward for youth football in Norfolk. Hansells’ support will allow us to strengthen competitions and deliver new initiatives that have a lasting impact on grassroots sport.”
Through this partnership, Hansells reinforces its reputation as a trusted Norfolk law firm and supporter for youth development, community engagement, respect in football.
