Sports stars used in digital activations for Parimatch and Manchester United's Asian partnership.

Parimatch is significantly intensifying its long-standing collaboration with Manchester United, rolling out a comprehensive suite of fan engagement initiatives specifically designed for the Asian market.

As the club’s Official Betting Partner in Asia, Parimatch is moving beyond traditional logo visibility to focus on deep storytelling and interactive digital experiences that bring fans closer to their sporting heroes.

Digital Innovation and Star Power

The new campaign features a wealth of exclusive digital content starring Manchester United icons, including captain Bruno Fernandes, defender Harry Maguire, and striker Matheus Cunha. These activations are part of the broader “Play the Big Game” strategy, which seeks to transform the way fans in the Far East interact with the Premier League giants.

Asia remains a paramount strategic region for both the operator and the club, as Manchester United continues to boast one of the largest and most dedicated fanbases in global football. To reward this loyalty, Parimatch is launching prize draws that offer once-in-a-lifetime rewards, such as Hospitality Box tickets at Old Trafford and signed Manchester United jerseys.

A Shared Ambition for Global Fans

The Parimatch team emphasized the fan-centric nature of this expansion:

“Manchester United has one of the most passionate fanbases in Asia, and we share the same ambition to deliver unforgettable moments for fans. Through this partnership, we want to bring fans closer to the action and put them right at the heart of the game. The ‘Play the Big Game’ campaign is just the beginning of what we plan to build together.”

By leveraging the digital reach of both platforms, Parimatch intends to maintain a high level of engagement through the end of the current season, ensuring that Asian supporters feel a direct connection to the match-day atmosphere in Manchester.
