Wealth manager US has become an official UK founding partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, the UK’s NFL home team.

This partnership will see LGT Vestra US work with the Jaguars through a variety of joint business-to-business activities, including the Jaguars annual home game at Wembley Stadium each year, the firm said in a statement.

In addition to working in a business capacity, the deal will also see the Jaguars and LGT Vestra US collaborate on community projects. These aim to generate a positive impact on the community in London through a range of American football-related activities.

“The Jaguars and LGT Vestra US embody an entrepreneurial ethos coupled with a desire to support the local community,” said Paul Nixon, chief executive LGT Vestra US. “Working together to deliver the outreach projects and develop American football at a grassroots level is an exciting prospect and we look forward to working with the community in London to foster change.”

The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional American football team based in Jacksonville, Florida. They are members of the South Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the NFL. The Jaguars joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1995 and are owned by Shahid Khan, who is also owner of English football side Fulham Football Club.
