Chelsea Football Club has announced a new long-term relationship with ABM. The deal sees ABM delivering best-in-class cleaning services at Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow stadiums along with the club’s Cobham training ground.

Mobilising more than 200 ABM team members, the partnership will elevate Chelsea FC’s experience for Blues supporters, players and staff alike - ensuring immaculate concourses, hospitality areas, offices, training areas and facilities.

Dan McEwan, Director of Partnerships at Chelsea Football Club, said: “As we kick off the new season, ensuring all areas of the club are at their very best for supporters, players and staff is a top priority. Clean, well-maintained facilities are essential to a great matchday and beyond, and ABM’s proven ability to deliver high standards across a large range of environments makes them the ideal partner for us.”

The multi-year relationship marks a strategic expansion into the UK and Ireland sports and entertainment market for ABM, building on its track record of delivering exceptional facilities solutions across large-scale venues internationally. With more than 50 years serving entertainment venues and over 4,000 sports and entertainment events served annually, ABM delivers not just cleaning, but an unforgettable visitor experience from arrival to departure.

Richard Sykes, SVP and President of ABM UK and Ireland, said: “These historic venues aren’t just where football is played - it’s where generations of Blues supporters have celebrated glory, shared memories, and felt the enduring spirit of the club. Matchday at Chelsea FC is a truly unique experience, and we’re proud to join this team to ensure the grounds are spotless and ready for every kick-off, meeting and event. This partnership is a crucial part of the expansion of our sports and entertainment presence across the UK and Ireland, delivering sustainable, guest-centric services to one of the most storied clubs in football.”
