Local football champions Valletta Football Club and Nike, through their local representatives, Urban Jungle, have agreed to extend their sponsorship agreement by another three years.

“We are proud to continue our association with Nike, the global leader in sporting apparel. We are convinced that the relationship will continue to contribute to our club’s on-field success” said Paul Spiteri, Valletta’s Vice-President for administrative affairs.

The new contract covers both the senior squad and the club’s youth sector.

Urban Jungle’s Ian Busuttil said that his company is delighted to continue working with Valletta Football Club. “The partnership has been a very successful one; Valletta’s vision for the future is very much aligned with that of Urban Jungle. We are both leaders in our respective fields.”

Davide Faloppa, Nike’s International Team Sport Manager, added that it was Nike’s objective to partner with the best football team in every country. In Malta, this objective has been achieved through Nike’s association with Valletta Football Club, Malta’s biggest football club.

Faloppa congratulated Valletta for last year’s unbeaten run-up to their 20th league title
