Ebbett Cupra and Northern United Sports Club (NUSC) have today confirmed a major three-year partnership, bringing together one of New Zealand’s most exciting performance car brands with one of Waikato’s fastest-growing multi-sport community clubs.

The partnership, commencing 12 May 2025, will see Ebbett Cupra provide a full-use CUPRA Terramar V vehicle for NUSC’s Director of Football, Che Bunce, alongside an annual cash contribution and branded signage to support visibility at home games and events.

Andrew Unternährer, Dealer Principal of Ebbett Cupra, said the partnership reflects shared goals of performance, development, and connection.

“We’re excited to be partnering with a club that plays such a significant role in grassroots sport across Hamilton and the wider region. Northern United has shown tremendous growth and ambition, and we’re proud to support Che and the team in delivering their vision for players, coaches, and the community.”

Rob Johnson, President of Northern United Sports Club, welcomed the support.

"We’re incredibly proud to welcome Ebbett Cupra as our new major sponsor. This partnership represents more than just support, it’s a shared commitment to excellence, community, and the development of sport at all levels. Ebbett’s investment in our club, and in particular their backing of Che Bunce as Director of Football, directly supports our mission to create meaningful pathways for players, coaches, and volunteers. Their belief in what we’re building at Northern United reflects the values we hold dear which is ambition, unity, and opportunity, and we’re thrilled to have them on this journey with us"

The partnership was to launch on Friday 9 May at Korikori Park, but this was unfortunately postponed due to a bad weather cancellation.
