Banking group teams up with Union Bordeaux Bègles

French Top 14 rugby union team Union Bordeaux Bègles has agreed a sponsorship deal with banking group Arkéa.

The deal begins with the 2018-19 season and will run for five years. Arkéa’s logo will feature on the front of Bordeaux’s jerseys.

The club finished the 2017-18 Top 14 season in 10th place.

Arkéa Group president Jean-Pierre Denis said: “The partnership with Union Bordeaux Bègles is a great chance for Arkéa, which wants to strengthen its presence in Nouvelle Aquitaine, a region in which it is already well established for a long time with private individuals, companies and players in the region.”
