The announcement follows the England team's qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
In 2006, Mars 'ambushed' the FIFA World Cup in Germany with its 'Believe' campaign. The activity included rebranding Mars Bars with the word 'Believe', and a major TV push.
The confectionery brand has agreed two separate deals. The first makes Mars an official supplier to the England team through next summer's World Cup, while the second makes it an official sponsor for the four seasons from September 2010. The latter takes place under the FA's new sponsorship structure.
The news of the sponsorship comes less than a week after the FA announced that another England team partner, Carlsberg, had committed its support for a further four-year cycle.
