Darts on Darts as DFC hits the Target with exciting new partnership!

Dartford Football Club is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with the world’s leading darts manufacturer – Target Darts!

The deal will see Target’s logo on the front of the home and away shirts of the men’s team, the front of the women’s away shirt and the back of the women’s tracksuits for the next two seasons.

And the deal will also see supporters treated to a host of Darts fun across the season.

To celebrate the announcement, Dartford FC hosted Dutch icon and five-time World Champion, Raymond van Barneveld for a special shoot at Princes Park, where he toured the stadium, met some of the men’s and women’s squad and took part in a series of football-darts themed challenges. 

Target Darts launched in 2006, building a reputation for fresh, innovative design, premium product quality and impeccable craftsmanship and going on to be one of the most recognisable brands in the sport.

Not only do they produce exceptional Darts products, but they work with some of the leading players in the game.

Dartford FC will join Target’s prestigious roster – which features PDC World Champion Luke Littler, 16-time World Champion Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor, PDC World Cup of Darts Champion Josh Rock, and 2025 Premier League stars Rob Cross, Nathan Aspinall, Chris Dobey, and Stephen Bunting.

James Tattersall, Managing Director at Target Darts said: “We’re incredibly proud to be sponsoring Dartford. It’s our first venture into the heart of football and there couldn’t be a more fitting partner than “The Darts”. 

“The shared name made the connection feel natural, but the club’s rich tradition, spirit and strong community truly resonate with us at Target.  

“We see this partnership as more than just a logo on the shirt. It’s an exciting opportunity to celebrate the shared energy of darts and football, have some fun, and create unforgettable experiences for fans throughout the season.” 

Dartford FC Chairman Steve Irving said: “We are delighted to welcome Target as a main sponsor of the Club over the next two seasons.

“It’s an exciting time at the Club. Not only is Ady putting together a squad we hope can build on the momentum of last season, but behind the scenes there are a lot of plans being put into place that we hope can support our joint vision of where the Club wants to be.

“Partnering with a progressive and innovative business like Target, is another crucial step on this journey. Is there a more perfect partnership in non-league football? Not only do we share the Darts name, but we are aligned in our goals and aspirations and see this as an opportunity to celebrate the synergy between darts and football and bring a new dynamic to the Club.

“We look forward to working with them and exploring a number of unique opportunities this partnership will bring.” 

As part of the sponsorship, Target will support Dartford FC’s Community Programme, which works closely with schools and organisations to increase sporting opportunities for children and adults, improve health and well-being and tackle social issues, uniting communities through the power of sport. Additionally, Target is in talks to provide darts equipment into the community and the partnership is exploring other commercial opportunities. 

Throughout the season, Target will also bring the buzz, and fans can expect a range of engaging activities providing opportunities for supporters to get involved in both darts and football.
