Football Central Signs Exclusive 3-Year Partnership with Vanuatu United FC

Football Central (FC) is proud to announce the signing of an exclusive three-year partnership agreement with Vanuatu United FC, becoming the club’s Official Apparel Supplier through to 2028.

The partnership marks a significant milestone for both organisations, aligning one of New Zealand’s leading football apparel and teamwear specialists with one of Oceania’s most ambitious emerging clubs competing in the OFC Pro League.
