2006 August 16, Jonny Vincent

888.com has just agreed to a deal which will see it become the official club sponsor of Spanish Primera Liga club Sevilla for the 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 seasons.

888.com has been extremely active in the European football market recently, with confirmed sponsorships of English Premier League Club Middlesbrough FC and French Ligue 1 club Toulouse.

With the online gaming industry falling over itself to target non-US players, 888.com is leading the way with their European football club sponsorships as well as through the World Snooker Championships.

Sevilla Futbol Club was established in 1905, making it one of the oldest football clubs in Europe. They have a long history of success in the top flight, having won the La Liga title once in 1946 and are currently champions of Europe, having beaten Middlesbrough for the UEFA Cup title this year.

Sevilla FC is an interesting football club, with the club owned by the fans. They have a distinguished training academy, which produces some of Spain's finest players. They have a world-class stadium, which seats over 45,000 avid fans.

888.com will be hoping Sevilla FC can improve on their 5th place ranking from last year in the upcoming football season.
