A two-year partnership deal has been signed between the Football Association of Ireland and Kenyan online sports betting operator SportPesa.

A joint press conference at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin was the setting for the announcement of the agreement, which sees the FAI join a SportPesa sponsorship stable that already includes English club teams Arsenal, Everton, Hull City and Southampton.

The deal will see SportPesa partner with the FAI on a Corporate Social Responsibility Programme.
