ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland is sponsoring the Under 8s team at Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) team Ballymacash Rangers Football Club as part of a commitment to support youth development within the Lisburn community.

New football kits have been presented to the players by regional business development director, Mark Spence, who is also a volunteer coach at the club.

Ballymacash Rangers is an up-and-coming intermediate football club, known for its strong focus on youth development.

This sponsorship reflects our wider mission to invest in the development and potential of future generations.

The academy’s mission is to instil a sense of discipline, teamwork, and resilience, preparing its members for success both on and off the pitch.

Brian Sofley, Managing Director of Assa Abloy Opening Solutions, says: “We’re proud to support Ballymacash Rangers and their work with young players.

Investing in youth sports helps build strong communities, and we’re excited to be part of that.
