Betfair press release on United deal

BETFAIR, the world?s biggest betting community, today announced a partnership agreement with Manchester United Football Club (MUFC). And to help launch the three season deal (2009-2012), Betfair has challenged Manchester United?s strikers to a goal-scoring showdown, with the lead forward netting money for charity.

The Betfair Goal Challenge will see Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov go head-to-head over the course of the 2009/10 season to see who scores the most goals ? with each of the winner?s Premier League strikes earning £1,000 for the Manchester United Foundation.

As an online betting exchange, Betfair has a strong relationship with football fans - bringing them together to bet against each other. Rivalry is therefore at the heart of the Betfair model ? and The Betfair Football Challenge brings this to life.

Betfair Global Brand and Marketing Director Oscar Nieboer said: ?We want to bring something different to the game and its supporters - Betfair matches rival punters against each other, and loves winners - and no football club personifies this more than Manchester United.

?This season, more than any other, United?s front men need to be at their prolific best, so The Betfair Goal Challenge should add extra incentive for the strikers to hit the back of the net.

?We intend to use this partnership to reward both Manchester United fans, and football supporters as a whole across the season with unique content and real access from inside the game.?

Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson added: ?We?re really excited about the partnership with Betfair. The rivalries in the game help add the passion and the noise for which the English game is renowned the world over.

?The new website is really innovative and allows fans to harness their support for the team and compete against each other. I?m sure United fans will be out to prove they are the best once again.?

The partnership deal includes perimeter board signage, use of the Manchester United logo in marketing activity, player and manager access, tickets and hospitality and the chance for fans to play on the Old Trafford pitch.
