The Clarets embody grit and determination - climbing back up the ranks with 101 points accrued last season alongside a 22-game unbeaten run. That's the kind of spirit we at Uphold love…Vincent Kompany at the helm just adds another layer of excitement to this partnership. With a legend who knows what victory tastes like guiding a team that's hungry for more, Turf Moor's destined to witness some magic this season, and we're thrilled to be a part of it."
