CRYPTOCURRENCY COMPANY WHITEBIT WILL MAKE PIBLICITY ON THE SLEEVE OF THE FC BARCELONA JERSEY

Since FC Barcelona president Laporta announced that the club was looking for a new sponsor for the shirt sleeve, there have been many rumors about which brand would take over the space. Finally, and after several months of negotiations, the club has reached an agreement with the cryptographic company WhiteBIT, which will be the new ‘official sponsor’ of the Barça shirt.

WhiteBIT is a cryptocurrency company founded in 2017, based in Estonia. Through its platform, users can buy, sell and store cryptocurrencies securely. The company has quickly become one of the leading cryptocurrency brokers worldwide, and now lands at Camp Nou to become the official shirt sponsor of FC Barcelona.

The agreement, which will last for three seasons, represents a significant income for the club, which according to some media reports could exceed €4 million per year. WhiteBIT will be the brand that will appear on the sleeve of the Barcelona shirt in all league and Champions League matches, starting next season.

The news has been well received by Barça fans, who see this agreement as an opportunity for the club to get closer to new technologies and position itself as an avant-garde entity. In fact, FC Barcelona is not the first soccer club to partner with a cryptocurrency company, as Atlético de Madrid announced a few months ago an agreement with payment platform UTRUST.

However, the agreement with WhiteBIT has not been without controversy, as the crypto company is not well known in Spain and some sectors have pointed to it as a possible scam. Laporta wanted to make it clear that the club has carried out an exhaustive investigation into the company and that they are convinced that it is a serious and trustworthy brand.

In any case, FC Barcelona and WhiteBIT have started a new stage together and the club hopes that this partnership will contribute to remain a reference in the world of soccer.
