Aston Villa Football Club has announced that it will terminate its shirt sponsorship agreement with online betting platform W88 at the end of 2019-20 season.

According to the club, the W88 relationship, which was the third major partner of the club in three years after 32Red and Unibet, has come to “its natural end.”

A club spokesperson stated: “Aston Villa can confirm that the Principal Partnership with W88 will end following the completion of the 19/20 season.

“The online betting and gaming site’s deal saw them appear on the front of all first-team kits during the 2019/20 season and their partnership with Aston Villa will come to its natural end.

“The club would like to thank W88 for their support over the past 12 months.”

Aston Villa will continue to wear licenced W88 jerseys until the 2019/20 season officially ends due to both sides mutually agreeing to a short-term extension following the termination of the campaign’s global health pandemic.

Nicola Ibbetson, CCO of Aston Villa, described the relationship between the two companies as “a record-breaking commercial partnership for the club” as the side won promotion to the Premier League.

Cazoo has signed a multi-year contract with Aston Villa that will see the company’s logo on both the men’s and women’s sides of the club becoming featured on the play kits and training wear.

“Alongside several planned activations and fan engagement activities, all generations of Villa fans will be able to wear replica shirts that faithfully resemble those of their on-pitch heroes with the Cazoo branding appearing on all replica kit.”

Fundación Flutter has been awarded Institution of the Year by the jury of the 7th International Responsible Gaming and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Awards, in recognition of its dedication to addressing social challenges, empowering communities and promoting sustainable development in Ceuta.

Launched in May 2024 by Flutter Entertainment, the Foundation is a non-profit organisation which was established in a short period of time as a key player in the field of sustainability.

The award recognises the foundation’s implementation of its STEM Scholarship Programme – including the allocation of €80,000 in scholarships for studies in these areas – in collaboration with the regional Department of Education.

Also key to winning this award was the promotion of a pioneering oncology nutrition service in partnership with the AECC Ceuta (Spanish Association of Cancer Patients) and a donation to the Ceuta Food Bank, intended for the completion of a new logistics warehouse that will expand its distribution capacity by 25% and serve more than 1200 families per month.

In the field of sports, the Foundation supports the “Flutter x el deporte” programme which provides direct support to sports projects that promote social inclusion, equality and grassroots sports, including adapted sports.

This Institution of the Year award recognises not only the intensity and effectiveness of the initiatives carried out in 2024 and 2025, but also the Foundation’s long-term vision, aligned with the Do More pillar of Flutter Entertainment’s Positive Impact Plan, which aims to benefit 10 million people by 2030.

Jacqueline Mecinas, President of the Jury at the International Responsible Gaming and CSR Award, said: “We are delighted to award the Flutter Foundation the Institution of the Year award. In just over a year, it has demonstrated how corporate commitment can translate into tangible and sustainable change for thousands of people. Flutter’s work in Ceuta, from STEM scholarships to combating food insecurity, exemplifies a bold, inclusive vision of corporate social responsibility focused on education, health, nutrition, and sports with a strong commitment to equality and social justice.

“It is a true honor to recognize Flutter with this award in an edition that reaffirms that responsible gaming is not only measured by prevention, but also by contributing to the common good.”

Esther Martín-Ortega, Head of Public Affairs and Sustainability, Spain & Other Countries at Flutter International, said: “This award is a testament to the power of collaboration and commitment. We are incredibly proud to be recognized for the positive impact of our CSR initiatives in Ceuta and Spain, as a whole. This inspires us to continue empowering communities and work towards a more sustainable future.”
