01 / Sound familiar?
Sponsorship is a full-time job. Nobody at your club has the time.
Most clubs don't have a commercial team. They have a few committed people, doing everything at once.
Tick what sounds like your club.

We charge a commission only after sponsorship money reaches the club. The rate, and how any non-cash support is treated, are agreed in writing before we contact anyone.
WE WILL
- Put the scope in writing.
- Get your approval before any outreach.
- Keep you updated on what's happening.
- Track what was agreed and delivered.
WE WON'T
- Promise a sponsor or a fixed amount.
- Approach a business without your approval.
- Use your name or logo without permission.
- Take on every club that asks.

Built by a footballer.
Before I started building businesses, I was a footballer. I captained my school team, Kandivali FC and India Rush Soccer Club.
I kept coming back to one question: why does a country that loves football so much struggle to give young players what they need early on?
A big part of the answer sits with local clubs. Coaches, equipment, ground time and tournament travel all cost money, and the people running these clubs rarely have time to go looking for it.
So I started Pitch Partnerships to do that work for them.
I'm a Mumbai student, and we're starting with a small number of pilot clubs. I won't claim a track record I don't have yet. What I can offer is a clear written scope, your approval before anything goes out, and regular updates.

07 / FAQ
Straight answers.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. We build a targeted list once we understand your club's need and what you can offer.
Not yet. We're at pilot stage and looking for our first clubs. We'd rather prove ourselves through a small written scope, your approval before outreach and clear updates.
There's no upfront fee. If a sponsorship closes through the work we've agreed, a commission applies after the money reaches your club. We agree the rate and payment terms in writing before we contact any sponsor.
No. We commit to the agreed research, offer, outreach and reporting. The business decides whether to sponsor, so we won't promise a result we can't control.
You do. You approve the benefits, target categories, use of your name and logo, price and final agreement.
Possibly. We'd check that nothing conflicts with your existing agreements. If there's a separate need or an open category, we may be able to help. If your current partners cover it, we'll say so.
That's a fair question. I'm a Mumbai student and former club captain, and this is a young company. You'll see everything before it goes out, nothing moves without your approval and you'll get regular updates. I'm also happy to share my background with you.
As a guide, plan on 30 to 60 days. If you need something sooner, tell us and we'll be honest about whether it's realistic.
