Online bookmaker Marathonbet has been confirmed as the principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for Sevilla FC, as part of a new two-year agreement between the duo, with the deal set to begin at the start of the 2019/20 season.
The deal will give fans of the five-time Europa League champions access to exclusive content, offers and experiences from the bookmaker throughout the campaign, while the operator’s logo will also be displayed across the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium and on matchday interview backdrops.
“We’re incredibly excited to announce our new partnership with one of the most decorated European sides of recent times in Sevilla FC. Working alongside a club with as rich a track record of success as Sevilla demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the growing Spanish marketplace. We look forward to watching the club continue to scale new heights in both La Liga and on the European stage throughout 2019/20 and beyond,” stated Natalia Zavodnik, CEO of Marathonbet.
Earlier this month, Spain’s igaming regulator, La Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego, said that online gambling revenue in the country had increased by 20.1% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2019.
Sevilla FC, which finished sixth in LaLiga last season, has launched its campaign to win the Europa League for a sixth time as the club embarks on a new era under new head coach Julen Lopetegui and returning Sporting Director, Monchi.
The team was previously sponsored by social gaming giant Playtika.
