iPRO Supports AFC Bournemouth Women with A Record Crowd at Vitality Stadium

On November 5th, AFC Bournemouth Women's team marked an unforgettable day in their history at Vitality Stadium, with the support of Official Hydration and Sports Drink Partner iPRO.

The club saw a record-breaking crowd of 6,805 fans watch their winning match - double the previous best attendance of 3,067 for the visit of Maidenhead United last season. But the day wasn’t just about record-breaking attendance, it was also about spectacular football.

AFC Bournemouth Women, under the guidance of Steve Cuss, secured a victory, maintaining their perfect start in the National League. Goals from Maisy Smith, Gemma McGuinness, Helen Bleazard, and Chloe Gilroy sealed a 4-0 triumph against Portishead Town, marking their ninth consecutive league win.

The iPRO Team were stationed in the Junior fan zone, offering sip sampling and engaging with all Cherries supporters. The 'Spin to Win' wheel was an exciting feature, which gave fans the chance to win iPRO prizes and sample complimentary iPRO Hydrate and iPRO Student. They enjoyed the same flavours that their favourite players drink, all thanks to the partnership between the Premier League club and iPRO Hydrate. You can read more about the Cherries win here. 

AFC Bournemouth Commercial Director, Rob Mitchell, commented:

“We are immensely grateful to iPRO for being a key strategic partner of AFC Bournemouth Women’s team. Their support and provision of leading hydration products plays an important role in the performance of our players. We are also grateful for the support iPRO give us in promoting the growth and visibility of our girls and women’s football programme.”

In September, the brand announced the renewal of its partnership with the club, extending their collaboration for an additional three years. The renewal strengthens a partnership that has been thriving since 2021 where iPRO remains a proud partner, committed to celebrating these special moments.

iPRO Partnerships and Operations Manager, Charlotte Taylor, also mentioned:

"We are proud to join forces with AFC Bournemouth Women and create a successful iPRO Fan Zone activation for all Cherries Fans at this fixture. A special thanks to the whole team at AFC Bournemouth who supported this chosen fixture at Vitality Stadium; it's a testament to the dedication to take women's football to new heights."

Look out for more exciting partnership collaborations later this season!
