The multinational group will give its name to the second French football league. The agreement will be effective from the start of the coming season 2020/21 till 2024.
BKT is unstoppable when it comes to moving on the football pitch with the same agility as it operates day after day in the farming fields. The company, a major global Off-Highway tire manufacturer, becomes new Title Sponsor of Ligue 2 which starting from the season 2020/21 will indeed be named Ligue 2 BKT.
The agreement has recently been stipulated between BKT and Ligue de Football Professionel (LFP), the organization ruling the professional football championships in France and will be effective till the end of season 2023/24.
Truly satisfied about this new agreement is Lucia Salmaso, Managing Director of BKT Europe, who states: “We are happy to continue our adventure within the French football. This new sponsorship perfectly falls under the growth strategy of our brand awareness. We are already Title Sponsor of the second Italian football championship, which is played in cities where agriculture – our main market – is among the most developed sectors. Starting from the coming season, we will do the same in France - getting closer and closer to our users, the farmers, sharing with them the passion for football and sport.”
BKT is already LFP's partner being actually Title Sponsor of Coupe de la Ligue BKT till the end of this season. Didier Quillot, General Executive Director of LFP states: “We are very glad to continue our cooperation with BKT. It is an important sign of the growing appeal of the professional football in France. And it is a pleasure to see that a large Indian company renews its trust into LFP for the purpose of strengthening its brand awareness."
Many are the surprises and activities that the fans of Ligue 2 BKT can expect in the course of the next championships. The company is well known for the unique and one-of-a-kind experiences it donates to fans.
All this because sport is a key element for BKT. It stands for commitment, determination and the desire to win. This is where BKT's great passion for sport stems from. The company actually has never stopped supporting sport by means of numerous sport events that the Indian multinational group actively follows all around the globe.
