We are delighted to announce that LaLiga have officially become a Patron of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom.
As a longtime Benefactor, LaLiga joined our Executive Committee in 2021 and have been actively involved in the Chamber since the opening of the league’s London office in 2019.
Quote from Keegan Pierce, International Development UK & Ireland for LaLiga:
“The United Kingdom is a strategic market for LaLiga. Football is deeply rooted in British and Spanish society and represents a unique vehicle for connecting with both cultures. Just like LaLiga UK, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom stands at the intersection between these two great countries and helps us to celebrate the strong ties that bind us, both on and off the pitch.”
