VALETTA, Malta and SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sept. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Meridianbet Group, known not only for delivering world-class entertainment but also for its profound commitment to social responsibility and community engagement, has taken a significant step in reinforcing its support for sports, particularly in Southeast Europe.

Today, Meridian proudly announced its sponsorship of FK Sarajevo, a football club with a storied history and a prospective future. Founded in 1946, their illustrious achievements include being crowned champions of former Yugoslavia twice, securing the title of Bosnia and Herzegovina champions five times, winning the Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup seven times, and clinching the Bosnia and Herzegovina Super Cup once.

This sponsorship further underscores Meridian’s commitment to promoting and uplifting sports on a global scale. The partnership with FK Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most popular clubs, showcases Meridianbet’s dedicated efforts to back teams filled with ambition, talent, and a rich history.

Meridianbet’s community investment in Bosnia and Herzegovina is decades-long. The company has recently won the special charity auction to buy a signed Edin Džeko national team jersey to raise donations to support children with spinal muscular atrophy in Southeast Europe. The project intends to gather funds from supporters, businesses, and investors to help families financially with the costly treatments associated with SMA.
