Bookmakers will have no place in Spanish football

Bookmakers will have no place in Spanish football

The Spanish Government continues with the implementation that bookmakers do not have a place in soccer teams. By preventing athletes from being part of game-related activities in stadiums, facilities or sports venues of any discipline, clubs will not be able to sign sponsorships for these entities to be on the shirts.

Given this circumstance, the teams of the Iberian tournaments must modify their sponsorship structures and if they had links with bookmakers, unsubscribe them. Such is the case of Osasuna, who has just notified that by mutual agreement, the sponsorship with Kirolbet ends. The technology and services company for the commercialization of sports betting became the main sponsor of the Pamplona complex in April last year, but it had already been linked to the institution since late 2015.

 

As Osasuna has done, seven other LaLiga teams will have to decide what they do with their sponsorships. But the premise is clear, they will not have visible links with bookmakers.
