Betsson AB has secured its biggest marketing commitment for the Argentine market, becoming the principal shirt sponsor of Boca Juniors.

Betsson had agreed to definitive terms to become Chief Sponsor of Boca, whose matchday shirt has been sponsor-less since July 2022. Betsson will pay $7.5m to place its brand on the front of Boca Junior’s matchday kit for the next 18 months.

On Sunday night, Betsson was revealed as the new shirt sponsor to Boca fans, during the “Para Toda La Vida” farewell testimonial match of club icon Juan Román Riquelme – played at the La Bombonera Stadium, with Lionel Messi in attendance.
