Footium announce partnership with Leyton Orient
June 30, 2022
We are delighted to announce that Footium will be Leyton Orient men’s official back of shorts sponsor on all three kits for the 2022/2023 season. We are really excited to partner with such a forward-thinking club, and will be working on some exciting initiatives together for the upcoming year!
The prospect of onboarding more football fans into the web3 space with this partnership is something that really excites us. Web3 can be daunting for those who aren’t into crypto and NFTs, but one of Footium’s missions has always been to bring more fans into the community. By bringing the Orient and Footium communities together through our shared love of the beautiful game, we hope to show the benefits that web3 can bring to gaming – in particular, football management gaming!
We already have a number of plans to work alongside the Club and their charity partners throughout the season and beyond. The Footium logo will feature on the O’s kit in the next FIFA game, which will be released near the end of 2022. We will be running FIFA goal of the month tournaments for both the Footium and Orient community with many different prizes on offer!
Additionally, we will be running some exciting giveaways & opportunities to win Leyton Orient match tickets, kits, Footium Clubs and more – in fact, in celebration of this partnership, we are doing a giveaway right now!
All of the team at Footium are football fans, with a number supporting EFL clubs such as Lincoln, Derby and Portsmouth. We know how important it is to support the lower leagues. The passion that these fanbases have for their club is exactly what makes football great.
George Benton, COO at Footium, said: “The entire Footium team are excited to be working with Leyton Orient on this partnership. The O’s rich history as one of the oldest clubs in England, alongside the forward-thinking and innovative nature of the staff, made the opportunity a perfect fit – it’s a good old institution!”
Josh Stephens, Head of Commercial at Leyton Orient, commented: “We are really excited to welcome Footium on board – it’s a fantastically engaging game which allows you to run your own football team and much more. Footium have some fantastic backers and players, and we are looking forward to a fun-filled partnership.”
