OKX, a crypto exchange, has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the English football club Manchester City, becoming their “official sleeve partner.”
This new partnership builds upon OKX’s existing agreement as Manchester City‘s “Official Training Kit Partner” for the upcoming 2022-2023 season, as stated in an announcement made by Manchester City on Friday.
As part of this expanded collaboration, the OKX logo will be prominently displayed on the left sleeve of both the men’s and women’s first teams’ jerseys. Additionally, the logo will continue to feature on the teams’ training kits, just as it did previously.
