Olympique Marseille Reportedly Sign bwin Sponsorship

Gibraltar based online gambling firm bwin is set to be the official betting partner for French football club Olympique Marseille next season according to reports.

The reports from the French media suggest the Ligue 1 soccer club is yet to formally announce the new partnership but has already started promoting bwin-related offers on its official website.

French online betting market leader Betclic was the club’s shirt sponsor until it was replaced by Intersport in 2012 following Betclic’s decision to restructure the company and cut costs at the end of 2011.

The partnership will see bwin replicate the official betting partnership the online bookmaker has with Manchester United in England.

This a welcome return to sponsorship activation for bwin who concluded their partnership with Spanish giant Real Madrid at the end of last season.
