The naming rights for the new Bowl Stadium and the National Sports Centre are for sale.

The Department of Community, Culture and Leisure is looking for companies interested in branding the sports facilities.

Those awarded the rights will be able to display signs and boards around the venues from January next year.

The Department hopes this will reduce the amount of funds needed for the facilities from the tax payer.

Such contracts are commonplace at sports grounds further afield, with the likes of Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Leicester City's Walkers Stadium and the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
