Linfield 'apologise for any distress caused' after terminating sponsorship deal
Linfield Football Club have confirmed they’ve terminated their sponsorship agreement with Belfast-based Mooney’s Butchers – and insisted all future deals will be “subject to internal vetting procedures”.
Earlier this week, the Blues announced Mooney’s as an academy partner for the 2025/26 season, saying the "brand is recognised for its quality, community spirit, and long-standing connection to Linfield FC”.
The South Belfast club have now terminated the agreement and also stated their intention to make a donation to a victims related charity.
“Linfield Football Club wishes to advise that it has terminated all sponsorship agreements with Mooney’s Butchers, including sponsorship of the Linfield Academy,” the club said in a statement. “The club will also be putting measures in place to ensure that all future sponsorship arrangements will be subject to internal vetting procedures.
"In addition the club will be making a donation to a victims related charity and wishes to apologise for any distress caused by this decision.”
