Powering the Derry Community  

Rexel is proud to announce a new partnership with Derry City Football Club, becoming the club’s Exclusive Electrical Wholesale Partner and an Official Club Partner for the 2026 season. The collaboration brings added value on and off the pitch, supporting the Candystripes as they build on last season’s impressive second-place league finish and European qualification, while delivering tangible benefits for fans, customers and the wider Derry community. The partnership will see Rexel activate across the Brandywell Stadium and club’s digital channels, offering fans and customers access to tickets and money-can’t-buy experiences, alongside B2B networking and community engagement. Rexel will also work closely with the club to help power Derry FC’s future with more sustainable, cost-effective electrical solutions for stadium and facilities development - cementing a long-term commitment to the club, its supporters, and the city of Derry.
