Online gaming operator Unibet has struck a deal to become the new title sponsor of the 2015 EuroHockey Championships national team tournament.
Under the agreement, this year’s edition of the event will be known as the Unibet EuroHockey Championships.
The deal was agreed with the European Hockey Federation (EHF), operator of the event, and host association England Hockey.
The 2015 tournament will take place at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London from August 21-30.
“I would like to congratulate England Hockey on securing a title sponsor for the EuroHockey Championships,” EHF president Marijke Fleuren said.
“From the outset all the stakeholders agreed that this Championships would be about putting the players first, also a core strategy of Unibet.
“We welcome Unibet and share its wish for players to play in a fair-play environment.”
Phillip Manzi, Unibet UK country manager, added: “We are delighted to sponsor the Eurohockey Championships 2015 and believe this fits in with Unibet’s passionate, friendly and expert values.
“Unibet pride ourselves on being the home for all sports, especially those that people are passionate about, and Hockey certainly fits the bill.”
