888.com extend sponsorship deal

Under the deal, 888.com will remain the club’s primary sponsor and will seek to increase the take-up of their new concept 888sport.com to the Sevilla fans.

Matt Robinson, vice president of brand marketing of 888.com, said: "We are delighted to continue as Sevilla FC's main sponsor. We see Sevilla as a highly ambitious team with great potential and are very proud to be sponsoring a club that has the same approach to business as 888.com – namely offering customers the very finest and most entertaining action available".

The deal follows announcements earlier this month that the company was terminating its sponsorship of the World Snooker Championships three years into its five-year deal because of difficulties arising from the current economic climate.
