曼联签下创纪录的2000万英镑训练服赞助,博彩公司Betway成新伙伴
在英超即将禁止博彩品牌出现在比赛日球衣胸前的前夕,曼联与Betway达成了一份据称是全球足球俱乐部训练服赞助中金额最高的多年合同。
曼联于本周二正式宣布,与博彩公司Betway签署了一份多年训练服赞助协议。据《The Athletic》和法新社等多家媒体援引知情人士报道,该合同年赞助额超过1800万英镑,另有报道称其价值高达每年2000万英镑(约合2600万美元),这使其成为全球足球俱乐部训练服赞助中金额最高的一笔。
根据协议,Betway的标志将显著出现在曼联男足和女足的训练服上,并在比赛日于老特拉福德球场及女队主场“进步与团结球场”进行展示。Betway还将成为曼联在博彩领域的全球独家合作伙伴。曼联首席商务官马克·阿姆斯特朗在声明中表示:“我们很高兴欢迎Betway成为官方主要合作伙伴。这一激动人心的新合作规模反映了我们的增长战略、曼联持久的全球实力与吸引力,以及我们吸引领先品牌、与广大全球球迷互动的能力。”
这笔交易达成之际,正值英超联赛即将实施新规。从下赛季(2026-27赛季)起,博彩公司将不得出现在各队比赛球衣的正面。新规并未禁止训练服赞助,这为曼联与Betway的合作提供了合规空间。曼联在上赛季因与Tezos的合同于2025年6月到期后,曾一度没有训练服赞助商。俱乐部本赛季重返欧冠联赛,显著提升了其商业谈判筹码,从而得以锁定这份更为丰厚的合同。
新赞助协议的落地,也发生在英超整体财务规则重塑的背景下。从2026-27赛季起,英超将正式以“球队成本比率”规则取代原有的“盈利与可持续性”规则,将俱乐部一线队相关支出与营收挂钩,并设定支出上限。尽管新规对俱乐部薪资和转会摊销等成本进行约束,但商业赞助收入作为营收的重要组成部分,仍是俱乐部扩大投资空间的关键。曼联此次签下高额赞助,正是在新财务框架下增强营收能力的一次重要布局。

Manchester United signs a record deal with a betting firm, but the Premier League bans it on match shirts: the club moves ahead of the rules, despite ethical contradictions.
It juxtaposes the norm (imminent ban) with the fact (signed deal), creating tension between formal legality and moral consistency.
It omits that the ban only covers matchday shirts, not training kits, and that Betway already sponsors other clubs.
The Premier League's new financial rules reshape competition: Manchester United's Betway deal is a normal adaptation to a system that ties spending to revenue.
It generalises the specific event (sponsorship) as a case of a broader trend (financial reform), normalising it.
It does not mention the ethical controversy over gambling sponsorships, nor the fact that the ban only covers matchday shirts.
Manchester United announces a record deal with Betway for the training kit, thanks to their return to the Champions League.
It merely reports the facts (sum, duration, visibility) without ethical or regulatory commentary.
It makes no mention of the imminent Premier League ban on gambling sponsorships.
