It’s a next step in our partnership with Liverpool FC, with whom we share core common values. Being the naming partner of such a historical place for Liverpool FC, what’s more, towards the Women’s team - giving them a home and a great place to train in.
AXA’s journey with Liverpool FC began 5 years ago, and this latest development marks a pivotal moment in this partnership. The AXA Melwood Training Centre is not just a training ground; it’s a new residence where the women's team can hone their skills and embark on a journey towards new heights of achievement. For 70 years, Melwood served as a sanctuary for the men's team, and now, it’s the women's turn to shine brightly.
Beyond its role as a training facility, the AXA Melwood Training Centre embodies AXA’s dedication to empowering women in sports. In a world where female athletes often face challenges, AXA stands firm in its belief that "Being a woman shouldn’t be a risk”. The training centre stands as a testament to this commitment, providing a secure and empowering space for the women's team to thrive.
As the Liverpool FC Women’s team embarks on this new chapter, they do so with the knowledge that they have a powerful ally in AXA. This partnership sets the stage for a future where women in sports are celebrated, supported, and given the platform they deserve.
