Shirt Sponsorship Increases By 36 Percent In EPL, 30 In La Liga
Clubs in the English Premier League have seen income from shirt sponsorships rise by 36 percent since last season.
The European Football Jersey Report 2014-2015, released on Tuesday, shows sponsorship income rose from 570 million euros in 2013-14 to 687 million euros (over 20 percent) for the 2014-15 season in the top six European leagues.
The largest increases were seen in the Premier League (36 percent) and La Liga (30 percent), with the English top flight's figures seeing a big increase largely due to Manchester United's deal with Chevrolet worth around $70 million (54 million euros). Over in Spain, Barca's deal with Qatar Airways is reportedly worth some $45 million (40 million euros).
There were also increases for Serie A (21 percent), Ligue 1 (13 percent) and the Bundesliga (9 percent).
