Nissan has become the official automotive partner for Cricket Canada, including both the men’s and women’s national teams, according to an announcement. This partnership was facilitated by Boundaries North, a project under WEIC Sports United, which recently rebranded from Teams Canada. Nissan’s branding will be featured on the backs of the national team jerseys.
Alannah David-Clark, the Director of Marketing at Nissan Canada, expressed to Media in Canada that this collaboration aims to engage with the increasingly popular cricket audience in Canada. She noted that the partnership presents an excellent chance to support the sport’s growth on a national and global scale, especially with the national team’s qualification for the World Cup.
According to David-Clark, Nissan’s global strategy extensively includes sports to enhance brand recall. She revealed that the partnership will not only increase brand visibility via jersey branding but will also include activations, experiences, and digital content designed to captivate cricket enthusiasts.
Rahdid Srinivasan, CEO of Boundaries North, told Media in Canada that these kinds of sponsorships help Cricket Canada forge stronger bonds with fans nationwide, both inside and outside the sporting venues. He highlighted that the revenue from such sponsorships contributes significantly to developing consumer-oriented programs that boost cricket’s growth at the local and national levels.

Srinivasan mentioned the noticeable upward trajectory of the sport in Canada, emphasizing its growing appeal among fans and potential corporate sponsors.
This sponsorship announcement follows other notable partnerships for Cricket Canada, including A&W as the official restaurant, TD Bank Group as the official bank, and Coca-Cola as the official drink sponsor earlier this year.
