This agreement will see our brand awareness increase not only in our key markets across the CIS, but also on a global level. LaLiga shares our commitment to the fan experience, so this partnership is a fantastic fit for us.”
Parimatch business Development director Tamara Babits echoed the sentiments of his CEO:
“At Parimatch, we are driven by our passion for sport and entertainment, so what better partner than one of the world’s most popular football leagues. We are so excited that our brand will now share the playing field with some of the greatest players in the sport today. We will work hard to build both brands’ presence across the CIS together.”
La Liga director Oscar Mayo commented on the new partnership with Parimatch:
“Strong local partnerships are key to making deeper connections with our fans and growing our global presence. In the CIS, our following has increased significantly in recent years creating an audience that is keen to get closer to our competition. Parimatch shares our ambition to create world-class entertainment and is an ideal partner with which to continue this growth across the region.”
It’s the second betting partnership for La Liga in the last month. The Spanish League signed a four- year agreement with operator M88 covering the Asia region.
