Pompey are delighted to welcome TotalAV on board as the club’s new Back of Shirt Sponsor.
The local award-winning antivirus protection company have signed a two-year deal to partner with the Blues.
Their logo will appear on the back of all home, away and third shirts worn by the team, as well as replica kits.
Billy Thomas, CEO of TotalAV, said: “It’s always been something we've wanted to do, but never thought we would have the opportunity.
“Where a number of us grew up as Pompey supporters, it really was a no-brainer when we heard about the vacancy.
“We are really excited about the sponsorship and look forward to working closely with the club.”
Anna Mitchell, Pompey’s Chief Commercial Officer, added: “We are thrilled to welcome TotalAV on board as the club’s new Back of Shirt Sponsor.
“They are an innovative, forward-thinking business and, we feel, a great fit for Portsmouth Football Club.
“It is a partnership that we feel will benefit both parties, as well as our passionate supporters, who will be able to benefit from a number of great offers over the next couple of years – and hopefully beyond.”
Pompey fans who have already bought 2020/21 kits will be able to have the TotalAV logo printed on the back of their shirts, with details to follow in due course.
"We are really excited about the sponsorship and look forward to working closely with the club.”
