From the contract with the broker, which serves over 16 million clients around the world and operates in almost all countries in Europe and Asia, they also enjoy the broker headquarters, which also counts on exposure in Thailand, where the owner of Leicester City FC comes from.

Sports sponsorship in fashion in the world of Forex

This is another broker contract with a sports club. Recently, a sponsor of Rugby Australia - also for three years - became eToro brokerand StoneX Financial has entered into a four-year partnership agreement with English rugby club Saracens.

Sponsorship agreements between Forex and CFD companies and sports teams have been very popular in recent years. They are also signed with famous personalities from the world of sports. Already in 2017 Hotforex sponsored the star of German and European football - Michael Ballack. Leading football clubs from Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Ukraine and Turkey have contracts with brokers.

Brokers are trying to take advantage of the fact that both sports competitions and the Forex / CFD market are, in fact, intended for the same target group.

The fans are also getting richer - matches can be watched even in exclusive boxes, the lease of which at the largest stadiums costs even several hundred thousand euros a year.
