The Agreement, which was brokered by WH Sports, is in addition to Plus500’s existing sponsorships, which includes a longstanding and successful partnership as the main sponsor of Atlético Madrid during a successful era for the Spanish football club in which they won, inter alia, the UEFA Europa League. Plus500 is also the main sponsor for the Plus500 Brumbies in Australia. Both partnerships have served to increase brand recognition and expand the Company’s customer base globally.

As part of the Agreement, the Plus500 logo will feature on the front of the Young Boys official jersey and training shirts for both national and overseas matches and Plus500 has access to a range of branding rights.

Based in Bern, the Swiss capital, BSC Young Boys is one of the most successful Swiss football clubs on the international stage and are currently the Swiss champions, having won the Super League in both the 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 seasons. Since 2005, Young Boys have played at the Stade de Suisse, one of the largest stadiums in Switzerland, with a capacity of 31,000 supporters.

David Zruia, Chief Executive Officer of Plus500, said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Young Boys, the most successful Swiss football club, adding to our strong credentials in supporting professional sport, including our ongoing sponsorships of Atletico Madrid and the Plus500 Brumbies.
