Eric Thomson, Jacob’s Creek and Pernod Ricard Winemakers' global marketing director, said: “We can’t wait to be part of the passion and excitement that the largest women’s sporting event in the world will bring.

“That’s why we knew we had to be the first wine to team up with the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Sport is so often the realm of other alcohol categories but we’re not afraid to break conventions at Jacob’s Creek and felt that the Women’s World Cup opened up new moments for people to enjoy our wines.”

The new sponsorship deal comes after FIFA dropped plans for a sponsorship agreement with Saudi Arabia’s tourism board Visit Saudi covering the upcoming World Cup amid a growing backlash from hosts Australia and New Zealand.
