SPORTSYA! SIGNS SOCCER SPONSORSHIP DEAL

SportsYA!, the Spanish and Portuguese language sports portal, has entered into a three-year sponsorship agreement with Uruguayan soccer club Atletico Penarol.

SportYA! has become the first Internet portal ever to sponsor a professional Latin American soccer team.
The deal entitles SportsYA! to place its logo on the front of the Penarol jersey and grants rights to stadium signage as well as e-commerce of team merchandise.
Emilio Romano, president and CEO of SportsYA!, said: ?Sponsoring Penarol gives SportsYA! great leverage as
we enter Uruguay and gives us great exposure in neighboring Argentina, which regularly televises Penarol games."
