The Irish Football Association (IFA) has confirmed that Northern Ireland’s home ground will be renamed the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park after the agreement of an eight-year sponsorship deal.
Clearer Twist is a product from County Antrim company Clearer Water, who also hold naming rights over the Irish Cup.
The final of that competition, won by Dungannon Swifts for the first time on Saturday, was the most recent game held at Windsor Park.
Northern Ireland’s next game at the 18,500-capacity south Belfast venue – which is also the home of Irish Premiership side Linfield – will be a friendly against Iceland on 10 June.
IFA chief executive Patrick Nelson said the association has “sought a naming partner for our beloved home for many years”.
“But a partnership which met all the requirements wasn’t available until now,” added Nelson.
“Our relationship with the Clearer Group is already one of collaboration and teamwork and this new partnership enhances that.
“And, the Irish FA, as a non-profit organisation, will invest these vital funds back into football at all levels of the game in Northern Ireland.”
