Aberdeen Football Club’s historic Scottish Cup triumph has not only brought joy to the Red Army faithful, but also marked a significant milestone in the club’s long-standing partnership with RAM Tubulars, a proud local business that has supported the Dons in various capacities since 2011.

RAM Tubulars is reflecting on a 14 year journey of loyal support, culminating in their current role as the Official Men’s Team Partner, Official partner of the AFC Youth Academy and shirt sponsor since 2023. Involvement with Aberdeen FC began in 2011 with the sponsorship of striker Mohamed Chalali. That same season, the company secured their first private hospitality box at Pittodrie Stadium, a base for entertaining clients and enjoying matchdays ever since.

Over the years, the bond between RAM Tubulars and AFC has only strengthened:

• 2016–2019: Members of The Granite Club, demonstrating off-field support.
• 2020: Played a pivotal role in supporting the Bobby Clark Youth Academy, nurturing the next generation of Dons talent which in 2022 Became the AFC Youth Academy in which RAM was an Official Partner
• 2021: Launched Robbie the Ram, Aberdeen’s much-loved mascot, bringing energy to matchdays and smiles to younger fans.
• 2023–2025: Elevated their backing as Official Shirt Sponsor and Men’s Team Partner.

From grassroots to the first team, RAM Tubulars’ commitment to Aberdeen FC represents more than sponsorship - it’s a shared belief in ambition, development, and community. Their support has spanned every level of the club, reinforcing their place not just as a business partner, but as part of the Aberdeen Football Club family.

“This Scottish Cup win is an amazing achievement, not just as a sponsor, but as a lifelong fan of the club,” said Jim Stewart, Managing Director of RAM Tubulars. “I’ve followed Aberdeen for as long as I can remember, and to see the team lift the Cup with our name on the shirt is something truly special. We’re proud to stand alongside the club as they make history and excited for what lies ahead.”

As Aberdeen FC lifts the Scottish Cup once again, RAM Tubulars stands proudly by their side. It’s not just about past achievements, it’s about continuing to grow, together. With strong roots in the northeast and a shared passion for excellence, this partnership is set to thrive into the next era of AFC success.
