Club Statement

Queen’s Park FC can today confirm reports in the media that our sponsorship agreement with City Facilities Management (“City”) will end in June 2026.

The club would firstly like to place on record our sincere thanks to City for their significant support over the last 5 years. Since turning professional in 2019, the backing of City has seen the club promoted twice and come within 45 minutes of achieving Premiership status. Currently, we are battling to retain our place in the Championship for next season for what would be a 4th consecutive season.

Whilst this news is disappointing, it is recognised that all sponsorship agreements come to an end at some point.

The current sponsorship agreement will continue until June 2026 with City stating the club will be debt free at that stage. This gives the club 14 months to review all aspects of club operations and to identify and implement a revised operating model. This will involve a root and branch review of all operations and for difficult decisions to be made to ensure the club continues to prosper and play a prominent role in Scottish Football.

One such difficult decision concerns the future of the club’s Elite Academy going forward based on the recent announcement on funding. The Academy is actively pursuing and exploring alternative funding opportunities, and the outcome of this activity will be made known in the near future once communicated to Academy staff, players, parents and carers of the players.

Over the coming weeks, the fans backing for the team is vital to maintain our Championship status and is much appreciated in these current circumstances.
