Puma to Make Valencia CF Kits From 2019-20 Season
According to the report of Spanish marketing experts Palco23, Puma is already recruiting a marketing team to manage kit sponsorship at LaLiga’s Valencia as they prepare to take over from Adidas at the start of next season.
Neither Puma nor Valencia have confirmed any agreement between the two parties. However, Spanish outlet Marca wrote of a potential €4 million-a-year (US$4.6 million) deal until 2022 back in April – thought to be worth around double the value of the club’s current deal with Adidas.
Adidas unveiled its own centenary tribute this year, releasing an all-white and golden strip for the 2018/19 season. Valencia celebrates its centenary in 2019.

Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia. The regional partnership aims to bolster the Premier League side's commercial reach across the Far East through localized digital campaigns, fan engagement activations, and branded assets.
The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
As Premier League regulations place tighter restrictions on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships in the domestic UK market, clubs increasingly look toward geo-targeted overseas partnerships to maintain commercial revenue in Asian territories.
