Premier League club Manchester City has signed a new training kit sponsor.

It is understood that the brand is online gambling platform Marathonbet. It already a part of the club’s sponsorship portfolio and will be upgraded into a higher designation as training kit sponsor.

The pair’s association began in 2018 in what represented City’s first ever global betting partnership.

Since the start of the 2018-19 season, Marathonbet has provided the matchday betting at the club’s Etihad stadium.

The club doesn’t currently have an agreement of this type. The Daily Mailreports the deal is worth an eight-figure sum, which would put it amongst Manchester City’s top contracts in terms of value. Manchester City’s sponsorship portfolio can be viewed in further detail in SportBusiness Soccer.

Gambling = Morally bad?

I am not too fussed really, plenty of teams are backed by money from gambling companies.

Apologies I was being a bit flippant.

But so many clubs have gambling sponsors these days I'd hope it won't be a problem.
 
Its almost impossible to have a sponsor that has no critics. I personally don't like the human cost of so much easy gambling opportunities , from personal experience, but its until things change why not take their money.

Anyone seen figures yet?
