Samsung are the new Official Club Sponsor of Swindon Town FC for the 2011/12 season.
The commercial partnership with Swindon Town is further evidence of Samsung's commitment to football at all levels in the UK, and complements their flagship activity with the sponsorship of Chelsea FC.
Samsung and Swindon teamed up this season for the nationwide 'Win A Pro Contract' competition, which offered an unknown player the chance to become a professional with the County Ground club.

The dream of a professional contract came true for striker Jordan Pavett, 19, of Maldon, Essex, who won the 'Win A Pro Contract' competition, and is now part of the first team squad at the club.
Samsung Sponsorship Director Martin Howard said:
"Swindon Town FC proved to be a forward-thinking club and gave us the opportunity to work closely with other brands such as adidas, FourFourTwo magazine and Goals Soccer Centres on the 'Win A Pro Contract' concept.
"We have a second campaign planned, which will be announced shortly."
Swindon Town Chief Executive Nick Watkins, added: "Swindon Town FC is delighted that Samsung Electronics has agreed to become the prime sponsor for the 2011/12 season.
"Words cannot express how proud the club is to have such an important partner.
"I worked very closely with their sponsorship team on the highly successful 'Win A Pro Contract' campaign last season and from start to finish it was a most professional and rewarding experience."
FourFourTwo will continue to sponsor Swindon Town FC, with their logo featuring on the home shorts.
