LeoVegas Group has entered a two-year partnership with Valletta Football Club, becoming the Maltese Premier League team’s Exclusive Online Gaming Partner for the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 seasons. The agreement expands the group’s brand presence in Malta and aligns with its wider positioning as an employer within the island’s igaming sector.
Under the partnership, LeoVegas Group branding will appear on the men’s squad’s match kit sleeves, at training facilities including the Rabat Football Ground and Dangli Football Ground, and within the club’s matchday fanzone. The company will also feature across Valletta FC’s digital channels, which have a substantial following on social media platforms.
The collaboration includes plans for branded experiences in Valletta aimed at both supporters and employees, with LeoVegas Group staff set to receive access to selected matchday and VIP opportunities. The company said the agreement will support its efforts to strengthen corporate brand awareness across Malta’s igaming talent pool.
As part of the deal, LeoVegas Group will also fund branding on the youth team’s kit. The sponsorship will be donated to a local NGO chosen through a vote by Valletta FC members.
Stefan Nelson, LeoVegas Group CFO and Malta Managing Director, said “We are very proud to partner with Valletta FC, one of the most successful and popular clubs in Malta. 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!”.
Claudio Grech, Valletta Football Club President, 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”.
