Stake, a globally renowned online gaming operator, has entered a sponsorship deal with Club Deportivo Ñublense, a Chilean Primera División football club.
This collaboration will see the leading Stake become the front-shirt sponsor of Club Deportivo Ñublense for the duration of the 2025 campaign, a historic season in which the Chilean side will play in the Copa Libertadores for the second time in their rich 109-year history.
Club Deportivo Ñublense were also a finalist in the 2024 edition of Copa Chile, and by participating in the Coba Libertadores the Chilean side will attempt to upset the oddsmakers in what is known as the biggest football tournament in South America.
By forging this strategic partnership, Stake once again demonstrates its strong support for Latin American clubs, as well as sports in general, being that this leading company is already the official front-shirt sponsor of six clubs around the world.
Nikkita Thomas, Head of Sponsorship at Stake, said that the company is proud to enter a partnership with a club with such a rich history and massive fanbase as Club Deportivo Ñublense, highlighting the historic participation in the Copa Libertadores.
Ñublense are a fantastic club, with a rich history and a great fan base. We saw a real underdog story last season as they made it to the final of Copa Chile, and their involvement in the Copa Libertadores is something we are very excited about. We are really passionate about expanding our footprint across Latin America, and to be a partner with one of Chile’s most prestigious teams is something we are proud of.
Francisco Mardones, General Manager at Club Deportivo Ñublense, echoed Thomas’ sentiment and said that the Chilean side is excited to partner up with a renowned brand such as Stake and more specifically, with the opportunity to reach new audiences around the globe.
We are very pleased to start this agreement with Stake, a brand that shares our passion for football and innovation. This sponsorship will allow our club to continue its growth, reaching new audiences and offering more experiences to our fans.
In other Stake-related news, last week the Gambling Commission instructed the leading operator to leave the UK market after the controversial scandal that involved an adult actress. Stake is also the official front-shirt sponsor of Premier League side Everton FC.
