Waterford GAA has announced that it will be changing the name of its stadium to ‘Azzurri Walsh Park’.

It comes as a part of a multi-year partnership with sportswear manufacturer Azzurri Sport, with the deal with the local company having been approved by the Waterford County board.

Last night (Wednesday) saw Waterford GAA release a statement confirming the new naming rights deal for the iconic stadium located in the heart of Waterford City which has staged countless unforgettable days for the Deise County.
