TMG scores with Birmingham deal

Share | |

Leamington Spa-based TMG Sport has won a contract to manage Birmingham City Football Club's travel requirements during the Europa League.

Sports travel management company TMG will take the team on their first Europa League match in Portugal later this month.

The Blues qualified for the European competition when they beat Arsenal in February's League Cup final.

Only Nacional, based on the island of Madeira, stand in Birmingham's way of a place in the group stage, which would bring at least another three away matches.

Mike Schofield from TMG Sport said: "We have worked with many of the top teams from across the UK and it is great to be helping a West Midlands club in Europe.

"I think it makes it all the more special given that it is such a long time since Birmingham City took part in European competition. We have agreed to support them for as long as they are in the competition so we will be cheering them on every step of the way."

TMG Sport has worked with Fulham, Hearts and Dundee United in their own Europa League qualifying campaigns this summer.
