AC Sparta Praha has extended its principal partnership with Betano through 30 June 2029. Betano, Kaizen Gaming’s online betting and gaming brand, has held principal partner status since 2023 and will continue to feature on the shirts of Sparta’s men’s A-team, B-team and first women’s team.
Tomáš Křivda, CEO of AC Sparta Praha, said: “The three-year partnership with Betano has brought benefits to both sides, and I am very glad that it will continue. Sparta is a brand with weight and reach in Czech sport, and the partnership reflects that. Together we are setting the standard in Czech sport for what such a relationship should look like. It does not stop at a logo on the shirts. Together we have prepared a range of activations for fans, offered them attractive competitions and experiences, and opened up topics beyond the pitch as well, such as stadium accessibility. All with a clear focus on the fan. It works because we are pursuing the same goal. Extending it for another three seasons is therefore a logical step, and I believe we will build well on the work we have started”.
The clubs said the renewal follows joint activations including the “Million Kick” halftime competition, which has awarded two prizes of one million CZK over the first three seasons of the partnership. The companies also pointed to international-facing collaborations involving first-team players and representatives of Aston Villa F.C. and Club de Regatas do Flamengo.
Julio Iglesias Hernando, Chief Commercial Officer at Kaizen Gaming, said: “We are truly delighted to extend our partnership with AC Sparta Praha until 2029. Over the past three years, we have built a profound relationship founded on mutual trust and a shared pursuit of excellence. This renewal reinforces our commitment to Czech sport and its fans, aligning perfectly with our global strategy of partnering with elite sporting institutions that represent the very best the international stage has to offer. At the same time, we remain dedicated to shaping a safe, reliable and responsible gaming environment for everyone”.
Sparta and Betano said upcoming seasons will include an “enhanced Betano Million Kick” and additional fan formats, while the Betano Game prediction contest, draws for places in the Betano Zone, match streams and other benefits will continue. The partners also highlighted ongoing CSR work focused on stadium accessibility and inclusivity at the epet Arena, including audio navigation beacons, expanded wheelchair platforms, stadium tours for fans with visual or hearing impairments and audio-descriptive commentary, as part of Sparta’s stated aim to become “only the second football club in the world to receive the Access Champions certification.”
