English Premier League football club Aston Villa has entered into a co-exclusive betting partnership with Betfair and bet365.
The deal, in which both firms will feature on the club’s LED screens and interview backdrops, represents a “significant commercial increase on last year’s betting partnership” a club statement revealed.
Charlie Wijeratna, Aston Villa’s chief commercial officer, said: “Commercially the club has two aims – we want to partner with good brands that will activate extensively and we want to increase our commercial revenues so we can compete with the best on the pitch.”
