Waterford FC are delighted to announce that Dovida have continued their partnership with the Blues for 2026, being named as our Back of Shirt Partner for our SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division campaign.
Dovida came on board with the Blues in 2025 as our official Sleeve Partner, as they progress their partnership with the club ahead of our second season in women’s senior football.
Dovida (formerly Home Instead) provides person-centred home care to over 7,000 ageing adults, adults with Disabilities and children under the age of 18 across Ireland.
Dovida provided in excess of 90,00 hours of care in Waterford in 2024 and this year will exceed 100,00 hours and is the biggest Home Care company in Waterford and Ireland.
