Leading online gaming giant Stake has added another football legend to its roster, announcing that former Manchester United and France captain Patrice Evra is its new global ambassador.
The partnership aligns the fast-growing brand with one of the most decorated and charismatic figures in modern football. Evra enjoyed a stellar career at the highest level of European football, winning 17 major trophies.
He is best known for his dominant eight-year spell at Manchester United, where he secured five Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League victory in 2008. Since retiring from playing in 2019, Evra has remained a prominent voice in the sport as a popular and outspoken television pundit.
He joins a growing list of high-profile athletes representing Stake, including fellow Premier League icon Sergio Aguero. The company has been aggressively expanding its presence in the world of sports through major partnerships in Formula 1 and mixed martial arts.
I am so excited to be working with Stake and joining the family. I am a massive MMA fan, and Stake is a brand that everyone thinks of when it comes to the sport.
Akhil Sarin, Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, highlighted the value Evra brings to the brand beyond his on-pitch success.
Patrice is a footballing icon and one of the best players to ever play in his position. As much as his incredible credentials, we love his eccentric, larger-than-life personality and his strong opinions on the beautiful game.
Stake has confirmed that new content featuring Evra will be rolled out across its channels in the coming months, though the specific terms and duration of the partnership were not disclosed.
The signing comes as Stake continues its international expansion, having recently appointed a new Country Manager to lead its growth in Italy.
