Flamengo nets kit sponsorship deals

Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A football club Flamengo has agreed kit sponsorship deals with online food order and delivery service iFood and Clipper, a producer of disposable lighters.

Under its agreement with Flamengo, iFood’s branding will appear on the back of the club’s playing jerseys for 12 consecutive Serie A games. The partnership commenced with Sunday’s 2-1 home defeat against Palmeiras and Flamengo said it hopes the deal can develop into a long-term contract.

Clipper’s partnership with Flamengo will cover the remainder of the 2016 season and the 2017 campaign, according to Maquina do Esporte. The website also reported that Clipper would produce licensed products for Flamengo, and that its branding would feature on the top bar of the club’s shirts for a 45-day period.
