June 28 – Premier League Leicester City have signed a two-year sponsorship with online gaming site W88 who will become the club’s Official Betting Partner for the 2018/19 and 2019/20 Premier League seasons.
W88 will use the partnership to develop unique content with the club’s stars, as well as receive a package of brand exposure including pitch-side LED advertising. The deal was brokered by leading sports marketing agency Lagardère Sports.
