“Retailers and wholesalers have a huge opportunity to drive sales both in the build-up and during this year’s highly anticipated tournament," said Tracey Redfearn, Head of Marketing at Unitas Wholesale. "With women’s football becoming more popular than ever, we believe this competition will help our members drive excitement around the games and engage their customers this summer.

“With the games kicking off in the mornings and being shown live on TV, Unitas have created a fantastic opportunity for stores to drive the at-home breakfast and brunch occasion as friends and family gather to watch matches. We’ve rolled out football themed PoS to retail club and symbol retailers to help them grab shoppers’ attention in store.”
