Radisson Blu Athlone Becomes Official Hotel Partner of Athlone Town AFC
Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone has become the official hotel partner of Athlone Town AFC, beginning a new local partnership that will support the club’s Women’s First Team throughout its domestic and European campaigns.
With both organisations firmly rooted in Athlone, the partnership reflects a shared interest in the town and the wider Midlands, while giving the Women’s First Team a central base during an important period for the club.
Supporting Athlone Town AFC at Home and in Europe
As official hotel partner, Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone will support the Women’s First Team during the season, including its European campaign.
The partnership comes as Athlone Town AFC continues to strengthen its standing in women’s football. The club competes in the League of Ireland Women’s Premier Division and has represented Athlone on the European stage.
For Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone, supporting the team is a natural extension of its connection with the town and the people who live, work and compete here. Fergus O’Donovan, General Manager of Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone, said:
We are delighted to partner with Athlone Town AFC, a club that has become a fantastic ambassador for the Midlands. Supporting our local community and local athletes is something we value greatly, and we’re especially proud to stand behind the Women’s First Team as they continue to compete at the highest level across all competitions.
A Base in the Heart of Athlone
Situated on the banks of the River Shannon in the centre of Athlone, the hotel provides a convenient base for the team during the partnership.
Players will also have access to the hotel’s leisure facilities, including its fully equipped gym, indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room.
With training, competition and travel all forming part of a demanding football season, having hotel and leisure facilities available locally gives the team practical support alongside the wider partnership.
Backing Women’s Football in the Midlands
The partnership also reflects the growing profile of women’s football in Athlone and across Ireland.
Athlone Town AFC’s Women’s First Team competes in the League of Ireland Women’s Premier Division and continues to represent the town nationally and in European competition.
Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone will support the team through the season as the club continues to build on that progress.
“We look forward to supporting the team throughout the season and following their progress at home and in Europe,” said Fergus O’Donovan.
A Partnership Rooted in Athlone
For Radisson Blu Hotel Athlone and Athlone Town AFC, the partnership begins with something both already share: a strong connection to Athlone and the Midlands.
The relationship gives the hotel an opportunity to support local athletes while contributing to the continued development and visibility of women’s football in the region. It also marks the beginning of what both organisations hope will become a long-term partnership, with the Women’s First Team at its centre.
