MGM Resorts-owned LeoVegas Group has signed a two-year agreement to become the exclusive online gaming partner of Malta Premier League club Valletta FC.
The deal will see LeoVegas’ brand feature on match kit sleeves for the men’s squad and across all club facilities, including the Rabat Football Ground and Dangli Football Ground, as well as on the squad’s training bags.
Additionally, the partnership includes branding on the youth team’s kit, which will be donated by LeoVegas to a local non-governmental organization (NGO), which will be selected through a popular vote by club members during a club meeting.
“We are very proud to partner with Valletta FC, one of the most successful and popular clubs in Malta,” said LeoVegas Group chief financial officer and Malta managing director Stefan Nelson. “Our group has considered itself a partly Maltese company almost since its inception, and we are thrilled to collaborate with the capital’s club to create exciting opportunities for fans, employees, and future talent alike. When two strong lions join forces, great things can happen!”
Valletta FC president Claudio Grech said: “This partnership brings together two brands that share Malta’s global reputation for excellence in gaming, entertainment, and sport. LeoVegas Group has become a world leader in mobile gaming while Valletta FC stands as Malta’s largest football club. Both of us thrive on delivering excitement and engagement — whether through live football or immersive digital experiences.
“We also share a forward-looking vision that embraces technology and online communities to connect with our audiences. As LeoVegas Group continues to expand internationally, Valletta FC is equally determined to evolve into a regional football powerhouse, making this collaboration a natural and powerful alignment of ambition, innovation, and Maltese pride.”
