Leeds United working behind the scenes
This development shows that Leeds are already taking steps ahead of next season and getting their sponsorship deals in place.
There was some disappointment amongst the fans when the deal was initially announced as there has been widespread criticism of how involved gambling companies have become within football.
While many people don’t like to see those betting logos plastered over the middle of their team’s shirts, they clearly bring in quite a bit of money for clubs.
There are several sides that have reached sponsorship agreements with gambling firms over the past few years despite some of the controversy surrounding the topic.
There is a ban coming into force on betting sponsors being shown on the front of shirts on matchdays from the 2026-27 season, but it’s unclear how that could impact training kit deals.
