Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A football club Corinthians has agreed a shirt sponsorship deal with online betting firm Winnerplay.net.
The firm has signed a three-year partnership with the club covering the 2016 to 2018 Serie A seasons. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, although Brazilian magazine Época claimed the deal would earn Corinthians around R$20m (€4.6m/$5m) in total.
Under the agreement, Winnerplay.net’s branding will feature on the shoulder blades of Corinthians’ playing jerseys, the space previously occupied by taxi company 99Taxis.
Corinthians debuted its Winnerplay.net-branded kit during Sunday’s Campeonato Paulista match against XV de Piracicaba. The deal coincides with the firm launching operations in Brazil.
