Watford FC Takes Victory

The previously undefeated Liverpool met their match yesterday with a stunning defeat at the hands of Watford FC. Watford FC managed to secure the victory in a blowout, winning 3-0. They are currently the only team to beat them this entire season. Could the sponsorship they were sporting have brought them good luck? That’s what many in the cryptocurrency community are saying: the team was rocking a bright Bitcoin logo on their sleeves. It is prominently seen in some photos shared by Nik (@nikcantmine) today. Bitcoin was confirmed as a sleeve partner for the team in December 2019, according to the team’s official website. The sponsorship is being done by sports betting brand Sportsbet.io. They called it an attempt to “challenge the accepted norms.” However, Watford FC is still a far way away from the leaders in their group. They are currently 17th out of 20 in the Premier League, with Liverpool leading the pack by far.

The Cryptocurrency Craze in Sports

The sports world has been looking at the cryptocurrency industry with significant interest. From payments to digital collectibles, the collaboration has much to offer fans as well.

Last year, we saw some major sponsorship deals between cryptocurrency companies and sports teams. In just the Premier League alone, both the Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United have collaborated with cryptocurrency projects for promotional purposes – and so many others have done the same. There’s no reason to believe this will stall in 2020. Cryptocurrency exchanges have even been jumping in on this trend, seeing it as a novel way to expand their visibility and user base. 
Beyond the Premier League, even sports stars have been voicing their support for cryptocurrencies. In some cases, they even want to be paid in it. Russell Okung of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers, for example, has been pushing to have his salary be in Bitcoin (BTC) for some time now. Although 2019 was an explosive year for cryptocurrency sponsorships in the sports world, this year is set to make an even bigger splash.
