Online bookmaker Marathonbet has joined several other operators who have recently engaged with Spanish football teams, reporting that it is to sponsor La Liga side Girona FC in a multi-year contract.
The deal follows the completion last season of the company’s agreement with English Premier League champions Manchester City. Marathonbet has sponsorship agreements in place with Moscow Dynamo and Hibernian FC.
The Marathonbet logo will feature on Girona team shirts, and the company will enjoy brand exposure, engagement and promotional opportunities at the club’s Montilivi Stadium, along with digital and social networking privileges.
Ignasi Mas-Bagà, CEO of Girona FC, said: “With this link we have fulfilled our objective of establishing an alliance with a renowned and prestigious company. Marathonbet will be our first main sponsor since winning promotion to La Liga, so this is a real milestone for the club.
“We intend to create a close, long-term relationship so that both entities can continue to grow together.”
Natalia Zavodnik, CEO of Marathonbet, said: “We’re really excited to announce this partnership with Girona FC, one of the emerging forces in Spanish football in recent years. The club is coming off a very impressive debut season in La Liga.”
