Ebury expands European football presence with new Royal Antwerp FC partnership

  • Ebury expands its relationship with Royal Antwerp FC, moving from trusted Banking Partner to Official Partner of the club until 2028
  • Ebury will support the club’s international growth, with its branding featured across the Bosuil Stadium and incoming transfer announcements

Ebury, the global financial solutions firm, is proud to announce a new partnership with Royal Antwerp FC, becoming an ‘Official Partner’ of the club until 2028.

Founded in 1880, Royal Antwerp FC is one of Belgium’s oldest and most historic football clubs. Based in Antwerp, the club competes in the Belgian Pro League, the country’s top-tier football division, and has a proud tradition, passionate supporter base and growing international profile.

The partnership builds on Ebury’s existing role as Royal Antwerp FC’s trusted ‘Banking Partner’, where it has supported the club with its international financial needs since 2024.

As Official Partner, Ebury will have a visible presence at the Bosuil Stadium, participate in the club’s business events and feature its logo across all incoming transfer announcements.

The partnership is a natural fit for Ebury, which has a dedicated office in Antwerp and supports businesses across the region and globally to navigate the complexities of international trade. As home to Europe’s second-largest port, Antwerp is a key hub for global commerce, entrepreneurship and cross-border business - areas where Ebury’s expertise helps companies expand with confidence.

It builds on Ebury’s growing presence in professional sport, working with leading clubs including Aston Villa and PSV Eindhoven to support cross-border operations and manage currency risk. Ebury’s specialist Sports Finance team now works with six of UEFA’s top 50 football clubs and facilitates transfer-related payments for around 10% of Premier League player transfers.

Royal Antwerp FC represents ambition, resilience, and a forward-looking mindset. Values that closely match our own. We are proud to strengthen our commitment to the club as an Official Partner and look forward to continuing this journey together, with this beautiful club and its business partners." 

Tom Aerts, Strategic Partnerships Lead at Royal Antwerp FC, said: “We are delighted to see Ebury further strengthen its commitment to Royal Antwerp FC. Having already been a trusted banking partner of the club, it is fantastic to now welcome them as an Official Partner at the Bosuil. We are particularly pleased that Ebury will become an active member of Royal Antwerp FC's business community, the largest business network in Belgian football. We look forward to creating new opportunities together, both on and off the pitch."

“This expanded relationship reflects the confidence we have in Ebury and the strong foundations we have built. We look forward to continuing to work together as we pursue our shared ambitions and create new opportunities for the club, our supporters and wider business community.
