AFC Bournemouth can confirm Dafabet as a principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor.

As part of their two-year partnership, Dafabet will feature on the front of the men’s playing shirts in an important part of the club’s commercial goals of maximising revenue in the Premier League.

Dafabet have a proud history of working prominently across a whole variety of sports, including influential partnerships with a number of county cricket clubs, in boxing and snooker, as well as a significant presence in football having worked with the likes of Celtic, Everton and Aston Villa in recent years.

Commercial director Rob Mitchell said of the deal: “Signing this partnership with Dafabet is extremely important in providing us with crucial revenue as a football club.

“The revenue will enable us to help with our club objectives of being competitive in the Premier League and our commercial goals that come with promotion.

It’s no surprise to anyone, it’s the most watched league in football – so being on the front of the shirt gives us excellent branding worldwide.

“As with all our partners we will work closely with the club’s community sports trust, ensuring we support relevant fundraising events and offer tickets to all matches throughout the season.

“Finally, we look forward to the new season and are sure we’ll work together to achieve common goals.”
