Lyon’s new shirt sponsor: KOOL SHEN

gGw — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:47:23 +0000

I always though the first hip-hop artist or a rapper to get a football sponsor to promote themselves or maybe just be cool will be 50 Cent, Diddy, Snoop Dogg or someone of the like but thanks to Universal Music, KOOL SHEN steals the opportunity and becomes the first rapper to have his name appear on a football club’s shirt.

Ok, what has happened is that Lyon, BetClick and Universal Music have taken an initiative to promote the name of the rapper KOOL SHEN through the sponsoring of the shirt for the game against Marseille on Sunday. It is one of the biggest game in Ligue 1.

The rapper stated:

“I am passionate about football, to find me on the jersey of the seven-time champion of France is a great honour.

In addition I am happy to be 1st artist who enjoys this kind of association. With BetClick, my album will be promoted in a unique area I like: football. ”

BetClick is the major partner in the club and their founder and president Nicolas Beraud said:

“This event with Kool Shen, Universal Music and Olympique Lyonnais illustrates our commitment to be an active partner, not just club leaders of French sport, but also and especially to their fans.”

The rapper is a poker fan and a supporter of PSG. For the release of his new album Crisis of Conscience (released November 2), Universal Music and BetClick joined forces.

gGw — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:50:37 +0000

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are in talks with the Germany based automotive company Audi about an 100 million euro a year investment and sponsorship deal. Audi wants to take a share in the club and sign a lengthy shirt sponsorship agreement; as revealed by the general manager of Bayern, Uli Hoeness.

The percentage negotiated by the two German giants has not yet been disclosed neither has been the length of the agreement. Uli Hoeness said:

“This is a participation (in the club) and a long-term contract. It is a package. An advertising contract and a participation. The amount is well over 100 million euros (£90m).”

He also said that the deal is yet to be finalised but he expects an announcement before the annual general meeting of the club on 27th November.

Gazprom interested in AZ Alkmaar

gGw — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:56:16 +0000

Holland’s Eredivisie winner AZ Alkmaar does not have a sponsor right now. According to court’s ruling, their previous sponsor, DSB Bank officially went bankrupt on 19th October, 2009. Taking advantage of that, Russia’s and the world’s largest gas company, Gazprom showed interest in not just sponsoring AZ but also buying the club, the stadium and the naming rights for a measly 35 million euros. Petty cash considering Gazprom’s unrivaled market share.

Currently, Gazprom owns and sponsors Russia’s Zenit St Petersburg, Germany’s Schalke 04 and they failed to enter the Dutch market once before when they were attempting to buy FC Volendam but they got relegated.

Interestingly, Gazprom pays Schalke 04 25 million euros every year and Schalke does not even play in the Champions League. So a chance to have a team in the Champions League for just 35 million euros is a huge bargain for the gas giants.

Tottenham looks for a sponsor from the Middle-East

gGw — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:22:29 +0000

Tottenham’s current big-money sponsor deal with Mansion expires at the end of the 2009/2010 season and a renewal does not seem to be in the books. Since Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City have already agreed to new sponsors and Chelsea and Arsenal are planning to stick to their sponsors, it is highly unlikely that the Spurs will be able to find someone as rich as they want.

Reports say that the sponsorship deal will not just be a sponsorship deal. Spurs want their sponsor to pay for the new stadium as well and in return, they will name the stadium after the sponsor. The new stadium should accommodate 58,000 fans; White Hart Lane has a capacity of 36,000 only. Tottenham hopes to complete their new stadium by 2012/2013.

Paul Barber, the executive director of Tottenham, has reportedly said that they are in talks with four big companies from Dubai and other companies in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Bahrain.
