Slough, Berks and Portsmouth, Hants, 19 May 2008: Club sponsor, OKI Printing Solutions led the Wembley cheers on Saturday as Portsmouth Football Club lifted the FA Cup, for the first time since 1939, after beating Cardiff 1-0 in an exciting final.

"This was a fantastic result," says Ewa Johnson, marketing director, OKI Printing Solutions, "and great reward for all Portsmouth's efforts throughout another successful season in which the Club once again finished in the top half of the Premier League, recognised as one of the toughest and most exciting leagues in the world.

"OKI and Portsmouth have both enjoyed tremendous success since we began our partnership in three years ago. OKI is now the second largest provider of business printers in Europe, while Portsmouth has become firmly established as one of the leading clubs in the Premier League."

International success

This year's final, the second to be held at the new £798 million Wembley Stadium, was watched by an estimated TV audience of more than 500 million worldwide and Portsmouth's success means that the team will compete in next season's UEFA Cup.

"Following on from the Club's success in the prestigious Asia Trophy Cup in 2007, this provides additional and highly valuable international exposure for the Portsmouth and OKI brands," confirms Johnson.
