Liverpool FC and Vitality: A Three-Year Partnership Focused on Health and Wellness

On June 17, 2014, Liverpool FC signed a three-year partnership with PruHealth and PruProtect, later rebranded as Vitality, making the UK-based health and life insurer the official health, wellness, and life insurance partner of the club.

Through this collaboration, Vitality aimed to promote healthy living among football fans and Liverpool FC supporters while leveraging the club’s global reach to expand awareness of its services. The partnership also extended beyond the men’s first team, with Vitality sponsoring Liverpool FC Women, placing its logo on the back of the matchday shirts.
