NEW COMMUNITY PARTNER

Dundalk FC is delighted to announce a two-year deal with PayPal that will see the company become the club’s Official Community Partner.

The partnership will see PayPal offer support to Dundalk FC’s community programme which aims to make a significant social contribution, improve people's lives and provide opportunities and support to the people of Dundalk and Co Louth. The club’s community programme focuses on a wide range of topics including mental and physical health awareness, diversity, inclusion, age-friendliness and the promotion of community groups and organisations in our locality. Dundalk FC will also support and publicise any key community initiatives that are led by PayPal in a bid to make our local community stronger and more sustainable.

“We are delighted to announce this partnership with such an internationally renowned and successful company like PayPal," said
