England manager Roy Hodgson announced his latest squad at Vauxhall’s Luton headquarters today, as the car giant announced an extension to their sponsorship deal with the Football Association.
It was the first time the squad has been announced in Luton, and Hodgson’s first squad without a named captain.
Vauxhall announced that they will extend their sponsorship with the FA for a further four years from after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Hodgson said: “I think it’s good that we’re being sponsored by an English company, by an English car, a car a lot of English people do drive.
“I congratulate the FA and Vauxhall for extending their partnership, and hopefully it will be a very fruitful one for both parties.”
Vauxhall chairman Duncan Aldred said: “We’re delighted to continue our relationship with England and look forward to another four years of productive partnership.”
The only uncapped player in Hodgson’s squad is Reading goalkeeper Alex McCarthy. England versus Brazil is on May 29 at Wembley Stadium.
