Two-level badge system
One community.
One badge. Plus the Black.
Every confirmed sponsor — Boot Room, Kit a Player or Monthly Access — carries the same season-dated Official Supporter badge. Season Scholars and above earn the exclusive A2F Black Badge. Annual Sponsor Team is the bespoke marque above both.
The badges
Same crest. Two levels of commitment.
Universal. Every business that pledges — at any tier — receives this badge. One community, one badge, regardless of amount.
Earned at: Boot Room · Kit a Player · Monthly Access
Premium. Reserved for Season Scholars and above — funders of a complete player place. Same crest, inverted premium treatment.
Earned at: Season Scholar (£715) and above
CLUB PARTNER
The one-of-one marque above the Black Badge, currently held by Adapt Gas Solutions. Bespoke season-long partnership.
The rules of the badge
Only genuine on the Register. Only issued on payment.
Issued on receipt of payment
The clean, unwatermarked badge kit and personalised certificate are released to your business only once your sponsorship invoice is paid.
Season-dated 2026/27
Every badge is stamped with the current season. It expires when your pledge does — no evergreen badges, no misleading claims.
Unique badge ID
Each supporter gets a unique badge number (e.g. A2F-00126) printed on the badge, certificate and email-footer artwork.
Verifiable on the Register
Only businesses listed on the public Supporters Register are genuine. A badge with no matching register entry is invalid.
Fraud warning: All example artwork on this site is watermarked EXAMPLE. If you see the Access to Football badge in the wild without a matching entry on the Supporters Register, it is not a genuine supporter.
Certificate of Community Sponsorship
A framed piece of the pathway.
Personalised, signed by AR Elite Academy, stamped with your unique badge ID and issued on receipt of payment. Perfect for reception walls, tender bundles and ESG reporting.
Email signature
How it looks in a real inbox.
Drop the season-dated email-footer badge into every outbound signature. Colleagues, clients and prospects see your Official Supporter status on every email you send.
