Manchester United have announced Tezos as their new training kit sponsor in a multi-year deal.
The Old Trafford giants have been without a training apparel sponsorship since their partnership with Aon came to an end last season.
The deal with Tezos is reportedly worth in excess of £20million per year and also sees them become United’s official blockchain partner. It does not include the training ground naming rights.
Upgradeable, energy-efficient and community governed. @Tezos is the #blockchain for everyone.

“We are especially pleased to be partnering with one of the most eco-friendly blockchains, using technology that is energy-efficient, limits carbon emissions and lowers costs, consistent with the club’s wider efforts to promote environmental sustainability.
“Partnerships are at the core of our strength as a club, supporting the drive for success on the pitch, and we are delighted to welcome Tezos as the latest industry leader to join our family of partners.”
