“Mars has a proud heritage of working within football and we are really pleased to extend our partnership with the Scottish FA,” said Fiona Dawson, the president of Mars Chocolate UK & Global Retail.
“We’ve already made a great impact together, getting fans back on the pitch and reminding them what they love about playing the beautiful game. We’re really looking forward to building on that success.”
