Football is a favourite for our staff and customers alike, so we're thrilled for our brand to be joined with such a high-quality partner in the FAI."

FAI CEO John Delaney also commented on the deal, noting: "The strength of the game in Ireland is reflected in the range of high-quality brands which have invested in football and who see football as their preferred sport."

Of course we can't compare Irish market to those in England but I think it would be great exposure for Ladbrokes at a lot cheaper price, this have to be a nice deal for the FAI too so I guess both parties would be beneficial from the deal.
