Foreign exchange and CFD broker AvaTrade has upgraded its association with Manchester City by becoming a global partner of the English Premier League football club.
The new multi-year deal names AvaTrade as City’s global official online trading partner. Today’s (Tuesday’s) announcement comes after AvaTrade in February agreed a deal to become City’s online trading partner in China, Asia and Latin America.
As part of the new deal, AvaTrade will offer customers and business partners exclusive City-related promotions, prizes and VIP trips to the club’s Etihad Stadium.
AvaTrade chief executive Dáire Ferguson said: “As one of the most regulated and trusted brokers in the industry, AvaTrade's global partnership with Manchester City is an important step towards making trading accessible for everyone all over the planet.
"It’s vital that every single football fan and investor worldwide will know that there is no limit to what they can achieve if they set their minds to it. We provide our clients with the best possible technology, tools, systems and training; and they, in turn, have the ability to turn this knowledge into financial success on our trading platforms.”
AvaTrade is headquartered in Dublin and has 16 offices worldwide.

I made four phone calls over a two day period to join these guys and no one answered. Slack.

Joanna Allen, Global Brand Vice President, Rexona: “We’re excited to announce this new partnership with the champions, Manchester City. The team’s international appeal gives us a fantastic platform to reach Rexona’s global target audience.

No more news about it since February, from what I can see, but I imagine if it gets off the ground it'll secure a whole new generation of fans for them across the globe...

Reports that Emirates are in talks to take over Etihad Airways. Probably not good news for us as we may lose our main sponsor, though perhaps not as catastrophic as it would have been a few years ago. Presumably the combined company would have to honour existing contracts but doubt that they would want stadium naming rights given that there is already an existing Emirates Stadium (which I had a nice trip to in August).

Here we are again. After a period of, I admit, neglect due to repeat business, busy at work, busy at home and general apathy. back with an oficial data storage partner. I must confess it's an imaginative new title:

November 26 – Manchester City, generally a first-mover wherever digital touches football, has signed a global multi-year partnership with Acronis, who will become the club’s Official Data Backup and Storage Partner.

Acronis will work with the club to develop its data storage capabilities. No value was given for the partnership.

As part of the agreement, Manchester City will work with the Acronis Foundation globally. The foundation provides “equitable education” around the world through building schools in developing countries.

Damian Willoughby, senior vice president of partnerships at City Football Group, said: “A football club like Manchester City has a huge volume of data – covering everything from our players and fans to the day to day operation of our business – and we are excited to leverage Acronis’ expertise to enhance our data storage and backup functions. Acronis shares City’s passion for innovation and utilising the latest technologies and we look forward to working with them as our partnership progresses.”

Acronis was founded in Singapore in 2003 and incorporated in Switzerland in 2008. It provides hybrid cloud storage and enterprise file sync and share solutions, as well as use of AI technology. It works with 5 million consumers and over 500,000 businesses in 145 countries.

John Zanni, president of Acronis, said: “At the highest level of competition, data is a critical asset. Acronis’ technology is perfectly suited for high-pressure, digitally intensive environment. We are proud to partner with this great club and look forward to our joint projects in the future. We are confident this partnership will benefit Manchester City, Acronis, and all our partners and customers.”
