Manchester United is taking a stand for a great cause by swapping their regular shirt sponsor for one game.

For the May 10 match against West Ham, the team will wear jerseys featuring the (RED) logo, moving away from their usual Snapdragon sponsor.

Snapdragon’s Charitable Decision

This move is part of a long-standing agreement between Manchester United and Snapdragon.

Each season, Snapdragon is allowed to select a charity to feature on the team’s shirts for one match.

This time, they’ve chosen (RED), an organization focused on strengthening health systems in some of the world’s most vulnerable areas.

Women’s Team Joins the Cause

United’s women’s team is also participating, wearing the (RED) logo during their match against Arsenal on May 11.

After the games, the special edition shirts will be sold, with all profits being matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Snapdragon’s Commitment to (RED)

Qualcomm Technologies, the parent company of Snapdragon, has long supported (RED), which has raised over $785 million (£684 million) since it began in 2006.

Don McGuire from Qualcomm Incorporated shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “We believe that Snapdragon technology can help change the world, and we are proud to support (RED) and its mission to eradicate health injustice.”

United’s Role in Highlighting (RED)’s Work

Omar Berrada, Manchester United’s chief executive, praised the collaboration, stating, “Through the power and innovation of our relationship with Qualcomm Technologies, we are proud to use the front of the Manchester United shirt to tell the story of the vital work undertaken by (RED) to fight against health injustice.”

He also emphasized the global significance of the effort, especially as the world faces critical challenges in supporting vulnerable communities.

Looking Ahead

This collaboration underscores the powerful role sports can play in promoting awareness and inspiring change.

Fans can look forward to a meaningful matchday, as the influence of football is used to support the important mission of (RED).
