The relationship with MatchWornShirt will give fans the opportunity to own the shirts of their favourite players fresh from the pitch starting with this Tuesday’s game at Old Trafford.
Around 9,000 Charlton supporters will be making the trip to Old Trafford for the game – the club’s largest away following in more than 20 years.
Head of Commercial Partnerships, Andrew Smith, said: “Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie at Old Trafford is an exciting occasion for everyone involved at the club and it is great to see our current and new commercial partners wanting to be a part of it.
“We’re delighted to come to an agreement with MatchWornShirt that will see them on the club’s sleeve for the game and the partnership will allow us to fulfil the increasing demand from our supporters for match worn shirts.”
