Sponsoring
Financial support
VRA is a club with healthy ambitions which require healthy finances. VRA has established a strong reputation in terms of sports performance, professionalism, fun, hospitality and international allure. All of this at the beautifully situated top sports venue, the ABN-AMRO International Cricket Centre.
For that reason we are genuinely grateful to our faithful donors, our sponsors, our ball sponsors and to all of our relations who are making a financial contribution to our club. VRA Cricket increasingly is attracting the attention of companies and sponsors who affiliate themselves with our club for commercial reasons. Not only does it reach an interesting target group, the club also offers a professional partnership, access to an extensive network, and local and international exposure.
Sponsoring VRA
By sponsoring VRA you will be making an important contribution to the club and to the preservation of cricket as a top-level sport and as a recreational sport in the Amsterdam area. Sponsorship is not only one of the cornerstones of our club, but also contributes to good longstanding relations with your clients and employees.
VRA Cricket works with three fixed sponsorship packages, and also offers modular options for individually tailored sponsoring. Depending on your objective, budget and wishes, we can devise a package to suit you from the following options:

Additional options: ● Team sponsoring ● Coaching sponsoring ● Material sponsoring (sponsorship of one ball starts at €50) ● Event sponsoring ● Sponsoring in kind (knowledge, skills, resources) ● Relation marketing and free cricket clinics ● Use of the clubhouse and accommodations of VRA (in consultation) ● Invitations to matches of VRA I, including drinks and snacks ● Invitations to business club events ● Invitations to international matches at VRA
The performance of VRA’s first team is featured regularly in the regional and national media, and the interlands at VRA are sometimes even broadcast on a global platform, via TV or streaming video online. See [link WorldCup / VideonCup].
Companies, clinics and events
VRA’s excellent facilities are not only made available to our sponsors but also to other companies and institutions hosting company days or events for their employees. On such occasions VRA is able to provide cricket clinics led by professional cricket players. The club also offers a vast range of catering options; lunches, dinners, BBQs on the pavilion balcony, drinks and parties.
