Breda Youth Fund for Sports & Culture benefits from NAC shirt sales

This season's NAC away shirt is an ode to the night and to the artist who put Breda on the map worldwide: Tiësto.
The timing of the shirt presentation was deliberately chosen: before the first home game of the dark months of October, November, and December. The shirt is all black and symbolizes the transition to "50 Years of NAC Evening," the phenomenon that put the football club on the international map. The shirt was designed by Myrthe Koppelaar with the support of Hugo de Graaf.

Tiesto

For the third time in a row, NAC is collaborating with a Breda artist on the shirt. And what a collaboration! Tiësto (Tijs Verwest), the Dutch DJ born on January 17, 1969, in Breda, is considered one of the most successful and influential DJs in the world. The artist has been a global leader for over 25 years with a wide variety of music and major hits. Tiësto will hang the world premiere of his new track "RVN" on the shirt, a song created specifically with NAC in mind. Tiësto will be present at the NAC-FC Groningen match as the guest of honor and will perform the coin toss.

Details

The shirt will include a chip upon release, allowing wearers to connect directly to a special launch page created with the artist using their phones. The shirt also features the striking all-black Tiësto and NAC logos. All NAC sponsors contributed to having their logos featured on the shirt in this version. The Breda crosses on the sleeves have been distorted by the bass.

The shirt has a retail price of €64.99 for children's sizes and €74.99 for adults and is available now through voetbalshop.nl/nac.

Youth Fund Sports & Culture Breda

A delegation from the Breda Youth Fund for Sports and Culture was also present at the stadium. A portion of the proceeds from shirt sales this season will benefit the Breda Youth Fund for Sports and Culture.

The Youth Fund for Sports and Culture gives all children the opportunity to participate in sports and culture, even if money is tight at home. The fund pays membership fees or tuition for sports or culture clubs, as well as supplies like sneakers, boxing gloves, or a musical instrument. In this way, the Youth Fund contributes to the physical, mental, social, and creative development of children and young people, and gives them a solid foundation for participating in tomorrow's society.

Dreams do come true, as Tijs has shown in his wonderful career. As a youth fund, we also help make dreams big and small come true.


Jeroen Meeuwissen, chairman of the Breda Youth Fund for Sports and Culture: “Dreams do come true, as Tijs has shown in his wonderful career. We are thrilled to have Tijs as an ambassador. As a youth fund, we also help make dreams big and small come true. How wonderful it is that a young footballer who doesn't have much at home can still participate, and a child who dreams of dancing on stage can take dance lessons. Our contributions make this possible. It feels like a dream come true that NAC chose us as a charity, but at the same time, it's the bitter reality that poverty exists in Breda, and we desperately need this money to ensure no child is left behind.”

Eric Matijsen, Marketing & Sales Director at NAC: "We believe this partnership is important for the Breda region. For many children, playing sports, paying dues, and buying equipment is a given. For many, it's not. This initiative allows us to add value to a partnership that both parties have enjoyed for years."
