BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach – 3 May 2023 – Liverpool FC are delighted to extend their current partnership with Central Retail Corporation (Sports) (CRC Sports), the club’s Official Retail & Licensing Partner in Thailand, for a third term.
The long-standing partnership is now into its 8th season with the new renewal period adding a further 5 years to the successful collaboration.

Since the partnership began the standalone retail portfolio has increased to five stores with additional shop-in-shops, club events and pop-up activations to increase fan engagement.
Mike Cox, Senior Vice President Merchandising and Retail at Liverpool FC, said: “We are thrilled to continue working with CRC Sports, and extend our long-term retail and licensing partnership.
