Spanish La Liga have come up with a unique idea - the sponsorship of a Welsh football team with arguably the longest name in world football.

La Liga Sign Deal With Welsh Village Team Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
La Liga and Welsh fifth-tier side, Clwb Pel Droed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, have signed a one-year shirt sponsorship deal.
It goes not beyond marketing it appears
The club are commonly known as Llanfairpwll but the full name is displayed on the kit's badge Llanfairpwll are also sponsored by Puma, like La Liga, adding more sense to the partnership.
La Liga said the partnership was between the two "biggest names in football". The club on Anglesey are set to celebrate its 125th anniversary next year.
However, the whole deal appears to be solely a marketing gag. The club and La Liga did not announce anything beyond the logo on the kits.
For the duration of the deal, the Spanish top-flight league will have its logo on the front of the club's home and away shirts. The Anglesey-based village plays in Division One of the North Wales Coast West League and will wear their new La Liga shirts when they host island rivals Holyhead Town.
Llanfairpwll's chairwoman Samantha Jones-Smith has described the partnership as an "outstanding partnership".
CPD Llanfairpwll will soon release information on how to get their new home kit featuring La Liga's new brand.
