Team Army are delighted to announce a new partnership with Vodafone, who have agreed to be our newest Gold Sponsor, in a deal which includes featuring their logo on the much coveted Army Rugby Shirt, from next season.
As part of their agreement, Vodafone Defence, who have worked with the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces for over 15 years, sponsored an Army Sports reception in the Palace of Westminster on Thurs 7 Aug, hosted by the Chief of the General Staff and new Team Army patron, Gen Sir Peter Wall.
