The deal will be for five years and will run through the 2023-2024 season, making 1xBet an Official Global Partner of the club. The deal will see 1xBet able to use the club's logo in promotional communications as well as tailor exclusive marketing campaigns to the team's fans.

"This deal consolidates our global expansion strategy and we are sure that it will help us to connect with new sports fans all around the world."
