It’s known as “The Beautiful Game” and at GAC, we understand its appeal – and its potential.
 For several seasons, we have supported clubs in the Premiership League and the Coca-Cola Football League Championships, and we sponsor English football clubs Crystal Palace FC and Sheffield United FC. The GAC logo can be seen at the clubs' grounds as well as in printed material, backdrops, team and replica outfits, prime position pitch perimeter advertising boards and signage.
CPFC home and away shirts can be purchased directly from the club. Visit http://www.cpfc.co.uk
 We are also the official ESPN STAR Sports FA Cup broadcast sponsor in Asia.

| Sailing |
 The ocean wave is the natural habitat of many GAC folk, so it was no surprise when the Group joined forces with leading independent sailing company, Team Pindar, to create Team GAC Pindar. Racing under a British flag, the team made its debut in the European Sailing Series in May 2010.
During 2011, the team will compete in up to 18 events around the world with two-times ISAF World Match Racing Champion Ian Williams as its skipper, as part of its participation in the Extreme Sailing Series™ and The World Match Racing Tour.
The Extreme Sailing Series™ is one of the most exciting events on the sporting calendar, uniting world-class sailors racing high-speed 40ft catamarans around a spectator-friendly course, close to the shore. The World Match Racing Tour (WMRT) offers a record prize of USD 1.75m, and features nine World Championship events to establish the best Match Racing Sailor in the World. This year, Team GAC Pindar's skipper, Ian Williams, is bidding for his third world title.
GAC first started working with Team Pindar, one of the world's leading independent sailing teams, in 2008 when it helped set up 'Sail Bahrain', a major initiative to create a National Sailing Academy and raise the sport's profile in the country. A year later, GAC entered a fully-branded Team GAC Pindar Extreme 40 in two events on the European series, in Sète, France and Cowes, UK, where all the logistics were handled by a dedicated GAC team. |

That’s why GAC enjoys its links with the world of motor-racing, both as a provider of vital support services for Formula 1, MotoGP, the A1 Grand Prix and World Rally Championships, and also as a sponsor.

Many a business deal is sealed on the links, and GAC folk are not immune to the charms of the green.
