Ebury, a European FinTech helping to simplify international trade, has announced its sponsorship with Serie B team Parma Calcio 1913 for the rest of the 2022/23 football season.
As part of this sponsorship, Ebury will serve as the official training sponsor for the men’s football team.
Parma’s most successful period was between 1992 and 2002 when it collected all of its eight major titles. It won three Coppa Italia, one Supercoppa Italiana, two UEFA Cups, one European Super Cup and one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup.
The Ebury brand will be visible on the training kits of both the team and the management team.
Ebury global chief commercial officer Fernando Pierri said, “We are delighted to support a team like Parma: a club that has always shown passion and determination across all challenges, both on the field and in the wider community. On behalf of Ebury, I wish the whole Parma Calcio team the best of luck for the rest of this current season and beyond. We will be rooting for you!
“It’s fantastic to see the growth of the Ebury brand as we extend our footprint, building new relationships worldwide. Partnering with an iconic brand like Parma that truly shares our values is an exciting way to become more integrated with the businesses we support.â€
Founded in 2009 by Spanish entrepreneurs Juan Lobato and Salvador GarciÌa, Ebury offers various financial services, including international payments and collections, FX risk management and business lending.
It currently has 32 offices in 21 countries and has over 1,300 employees. Over the past year, the volume of transactions executed by Ebury exceeded $21bn.
Several FinTech companies have got involved with football. Earlier in the year, Manchester City linked with crypto exchange OKX. The deal sees OKX become the football club’s official crypto exchange partner.
