Commenting on the development, AXA CEO Thomas Buberl said: “We are very pleased to strengthen our partnership with Liverpool Football Club, which has already enabled us to increase our brand recognition.

“AXA and Liverpool FC share common values on which we can continue to build opportunities for Liverpool fans, our customers and employees around the world.”

Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan added: “The expansion of AXA’s partnership to include the naming rights of the club’s new Training Centre makes perfect sense.

“We have already seen their emphasis on driving health, wellbeing, confidence, and self-belief and so deepening their relationship in the field of training makes this partnership a great fit.”
