Sunderland AFC

Football is something of a religion in sports-mad Sunderland and the 49,000 seat Stadium of Light could almost be considered its cathedral.

The home of Sunderland AFC, it is widely regarded as one of the best football stadia in Europe. Positioned high on the banks of the River Wear the stadium is also one of the city's major landmarks. So when travelling to the North East why not come to Sunderland and take part in cheering on the Sunderland Black Cats while they battle against their Premiership opponents and with the football club's Irish connections, you are sure to see a friendly face during a match day.

While here, also make sure you take the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the 49,000 all seat stadium, home to some of the friendliest and most passionate supporters in football. Have a tour of the pitchside and the dressing rooms and see a club revitalised by the Chairman Niall Quinn.

To purchase match day tickets for your trip, simply go online at www.safc.com or call the Sunderland AFC Ticket Line on 0845 671 1973 (UK) or + 44 845 671 1973 (outside the UK).

Alternatively treat yourself to the finest matchday hospitality. The superb facilities and first-class service inside the club's state-of-the-art arena will ensure it's a day you'll never forget. A range of opportunities are available, from passes into the Black Cats Bar with executive padded seats for the game, to an Associate Sponsorship package, where a champagne reception, stadium tour, four-course meal including wine, man-of-the-match awards and an autographed Sunderland AFC football are just some of the delights you can expect.

To book a package or discuss any requirements on hospitality opportunities, please call Mark Moisley on + 44 191 551 5300.

Visit the North East and enjoy a region proud of its heritage, a city proud of its footballing history, and a club proud of its Premier League team.
