Russian football sponsorship for Marathon Bet

Online gambling company Marathonbet has become an official sponsor of Dynamo Moscow football club after signing a three-year agreement taking effect from the 2017/2018 season.

The partnership will give Marathonbet wide-ranging opportunities for branding – the company logo will appear on the players’ jerseys and in the club’s home ground as well as its training facilities. In addition, Marathonbet will feature on the club’s various digital platforms.

Marathonbet spokesperson Ekaterina Zemskova said in a company statement Monday:

“Dynamo Moscow is a club with a great history – it is the first Soviet champion, the first Soviet Cup winner. It is a brand recognised all over the world. I am confident that together we will achieve excellent results. We have been partnering with sports clubs for a long time, with a portfolio now including Manchester United, Malaga and Hibernian. We are pleased to have such a prominent club as Dynamo joining these names.”

Yevgeniy Muravyov, general director of Dynamo Moscow FC added:

“Sponsorship is an important part of the club’s make-up and we are therefore glad that our search has ended with a partnership with Marathonbet,”
