Teams

Melchester Rovers (United Kingdom; 1991-1992)

Sega Europe sponsored the fictitious Melchester Rovers team from (then weekly) British comic Roy of the Rovers[1]. Publisher IPC Magazines ran a competition to design the 1991/1992 season kit, which was won by readers Robert Moore (home) and Richard Jones (away), although they had no control over the sponsorships.

The Sega-sponsored kit debuted in the 24th August 1991 issue and continued until the summer of 1992, when the main sponsor was replaced with TSB. Several competitions to win Sega products were also featured in the comic during this period.

Favoritner AC (Austria; 1992-1993)

Sega sponsored[2][3] Austrian football club Favoritner Athletik Club in the 1992/1993 season of the Austrian Football Second League, the second-highest professional division in Austrian football. The club finished fourth in the league in that season, reaching the Semi-finals of the Austrian Cup (lost to SK Rapid Wien) and winning the Wiener Stadthallenturnier[4][5][6] (Wiener Stadthalle Tournament), the most prestigious indoor football tournament in Austria, held from 1959 to 2009 during the winter break of the Austrian football championship.

JEF United Ichihara (ジェフユナイテッド市原) (Japan; 1992-1996)

Main article: Sponsorships/Football/JEF United Ichihara.

Tottenham Hotspur F.C. (youth team) (United Kingdom; 1994-1995)

The main Tottenham Hotspur team were sponsored by Holsten during this season, however the youth team had to seek out a different sponsor so as not to be associated with alcohol.

Kit

AS Saint-Étienne (France; 1999-2000)[16]

U.C. Sampdoria (Italy; 1999-2000)[16]

Urawa Red Diamonds (浦和レッドダイヤモンズ) (Japan)

Sega used Urawa Reds players for motion capture data when developing the Sega Dreamcast game, J.League Pro Soccer Club o Tsukurou!. This led Smilebit becoming a stadium sponsor in 2000 and 2001 and a kit sponsor in 2003 and 2004 (with the logo appearing on the player's shorts). In 2005, once Smilebit had been absorbed back into Sega, the main Sega branding was used instead[17].

Sega did not continue the sponsorship deal for the 2006 season, despite the team winning the championship that year.

Ascot United F.C. (United Kingdom; 2022-2023)

Ascot United U11 Spartans

Sega Europe is the official sponsor[18][19][20] of the Ascot United U11 Spartans, one of the junior teams of Ascot United Football Club .

Spanish professional football manager Rafael Benítez passed through the playing ranks of AD Parla as a midfielder from 1981 to 1985 before achieving fame as a coach.

Events

  • Bobby Charlton Six-a-side 1991

Sega sponsored the ITV's covrage of the 1992 UEFA European Football Championship in the United Kingdom[37].

1993-94 FA Cup, 1994 World Cup qualifiers, BSkyB coverage

Sega was a sponsor for BSkyB's coverage of the 1992–93 FA Cup in the United Kingdom[38], as well as England's matches during the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification[39] (England failed to qualify that year). Sega only appears to have sponsored the Sky Sports's coverage during 1993.

BSkyB shared its broadcasting coverage with the BBC during this season, so did not air every match.
