Premier League ban advertising front t-shirts following by Scottish Football League?
2 minutos de lectura
(London).- There are still no plan for the Scottish football clubs to follow the English Premier League in banning betting sponsorship from the front of matchday shirts, said member from the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL).
The Premier League ban will come into force by the end of the 2025-26 season. The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) said there were no plans to follow suit.
It stated sponsorship was "a matter for each club" and described betting deals as "a significant source of income" for many teams.
Three Scottish Premiership clubs have betting sponsors on the front of their shirt - Celtic with Dafabet, Rangers with 32Red and Unibet and Dundee United with QuinnCasino.
The Scottish government launched a consultation on restricting alcohol advertising and promotion last year.
Mr McLeish called for a phasing out of gambling and alcohol sponsorship to allow the SPFL and clubs to find alternative sponsors.
“I cannot believe that in Scotland and the United Kingdom there are not good sponsors willing to come in to the game if the game itself could be made more attractive to those particular sponsors.”
'Significant source of income'
Following the English Premier League's announcement on gambling sponsorship, an SPFL spokesperson said: "There are no plans for a league-wide proscription of such deals.
"For many SPFL clubs, sponsorship from gambling companies is a significant source of income which helps to support their business models and enables investment in many of the important community activities which clubs undertake."
The Betting and Gaming Council, which represents the industry, welcomed the SPFL's statement.
It said the "overwhelming majority" of the 22.5 million people in the UK who bet each month do so "safely and responsibly".
The organisation added the "rate of problem gambling remains low by international standards at 0.3% of the UK's adult population - down from 0.4% the year previous".
