No financial or any further details of the deal were disclosed yet. Barclays joins EA Sports, the official sports technology partner, and Nike, the official ball supplier.
"The Premier League is moving to a new model without a title sponsor yet we could still see the benefit of maintaining our association with one of the most successful sports brands in the world. The partnership will continue to offer us many assets such as tickets that are valued by our customers and clients, as well as helping maintain our long established commercial relationships with the Premier League and many clubs. "We look forward to the successful continuation of our partnership with the Premier League."
