Premier League Champions Announce Multi-Year Deal with Global Betting Giant

This strategic alliance, set to kick off at the beginning of the 2024/25 season, positions Betway as Manchester City’s Official Global Betting Partner.
A New York Stock Exchange Celebration
To mark this important agreement, key figures from both organizations participated in the iconic bell-ringing ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange. On Friday, July 26, Ferran Soriano, CEO of City Football Group, and Neal Menashe, CEO of Super Group (Betway’s parent company), rang The Opening Bell at 9:30 AM EDT, signaling the start of the day’s trading. This event coincided with Manchester City’s pre-season tour of the United States, adding a touch of sporting glamour to the financial district.
Expanding Horizons for Both Parties
The partnership with Manchester City represents a significant expansion of Betway’s already impressive sports sponsorship portfolio. The betting company currently boasts partnerships with several Premier League teams, including Arsenal, West Ham United, and Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as teams in La Liga and the NBA.
For Manchester City, this collaboration opens up new avenues for global fan engagement and brand exposure. Ferran Soriano expressed enthusiasm about the deal, stating, “As a globally recognized brand, Betway has a strong pedigree and history of working with high-profile brands within the sports space, and we’re excited to work together throughout the partnership.”
Activations and Brand Visibility
Throughout the partnership, fans can expect to see a range of exciting activations and exclusive content. Betway’s brand will be prominently featured across Manchester City’s digital platforms and in-stadium assets, ensuring maximum visibility to the club’s global fanbase.
Neal Menashe, CEO of Super Group, highlighted the strategic importance of the partnership: “This agreement cements our place in the top tier of Premier League partners, ensuring that our Betway brand reaches fans in all corners of the globe.”
Commitment to Responsible Gambling
In a demonstration of their commitment to ethical practices, both Manchester City and Betway have pledged to provide comprehensive training on betting integrity and responsible gambling. This initiative will extend to all players, coaches, management, and staff at Manchester City, complementing the club’s existing efforts in this area.
The Bigger Picture: Betway’s Expanding Influence
This partnership with Manchester City is just one part of Betway’s broader strategy to increase its global footprint. Recent developments include:
- A content partnership with ESA Gaming, introducing their offerings to markets in Tanzania, Nigeria, Mozambique, Zambia, and Malawi.
- Becoming the official sponsor of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in South Africa, now known as the Betway Premiership.
As the 2024/25 season approaches, all eyes will be on how this partnership between a football powerhouse and a betting industry leader unfolds. With both parties committed to innovation and engagement, fans can expect an exciting and interactive experience both on and off the pitch.
