The iconic Sportsground, home of Connacht Rugbt, is to be renamed Dexcom Stadium in a naming rights deal with medtech company.
The name change will take effect immediately, ahead of the next phase of the stadium redevelopment in March.
The naming rights deal is part of a 12 year partnership between Connacht Rugby and Dexcom, which comes as the company breaks ground on its new factory outside Athenry today.
Connacht Rugby are also excited to announce that construction on our new High-Performance Centre (HPC) and North Stand will both begin in the coming months.
Works on the HPC will begin in March with works on the North Stand following at the end of this current season.
The new Connacht Rugby HPC is expected to be completed by March 2025 and will provide all Connacht Rugby representative teams with world-class facilities to enable them to fulfil their potential and perform at the highest level.
Dexcom has broken ground today on a new 40,227sqm medical devices factory on the south-west outskirts of Athenry.
Dexcom expects to provide about 500 construction jobs while the facility is being built and up to 1,000 high-tech graduate and technician level positions once the site is running at full capacity.
When completed the massive facility will encompass warehousing, production areas, administration offices, and a restaurant for staff members.
