Leyton Orient have agreed a ‘lucrative’ shirt sponsorship deal with the fantasy football game Dream Team FC.
The deal will see the website’s logo appear on the front of the O’s home, away and third kits for the next two campaigns, replacing current sponsor Energy Bet.
Dream Team FC, which is owned by News UK, is a fantasy football game which is currently played by 1.6m people.
The deal will also see Goldline remain as the club’s rear shirt sponsor, while The Energy Check Company’s logo will continue to appear on the back of the O’s shorts.
Chief Executive Danny Macklin said: “We are delighted to be teaming up with Dream Team and News Group for this exciting and lucrative partnership.
“The ever-popular Fantasy Football game is a staple for millions of football fans and the Dream Team game is certainly the most entertaining way for the next Pep, Jurgen or Justin to put their football knowledge to the test.
“We look forward to working closely with Dream Team in the coming seasons. We collectively want to bring to life the highs and lows of being a fan of the O’s.”
The O’s have also confirmed that season ticket prices have been frozen for the 2018/19 campaign.
