SportPesa reveal Everton FC shirt sponsorship

SportPesa appear to have confirmed their new shirt sponsorship with Everton.

The Blues are expected to announce their partnership with the gaming firm after confirming that Chang will no longer adorn their shirts after a 13-year spell.

A tweet from SportPesa’s official Twitter account showed a picture of the company’s name and the bottom half of Everton’s club badge on a blue material.

Cryptically captioned ‘Can anyone guess what this is?’, the post appeared to show part of the fabric of the club’s new home kit ahead of Tuesday’s scheduled launch.

The post was later deleted by the Kenyan-based company, who had held discussions with senior officials who visited its Tanzania offices in March.

Everton club secretary David Harrison and head of security Dave Lewis met a delegation of SportPesa and local government officials at the time.

Talks centred on the possibility of Ronald Koeman’s side playing a pre-season tournament in the country as part of the impending tie-in.
