Premier League seeks To Ban Gambling Sponsorship
The Premier League is asking clubs to support phasing out shirt sponsorship by gambling companies in a last-ditch effort to avert a government-imposed ban.
Rumours has it that the Premier League contacted clubs on Monday to propose a resolution that would see betting companies disappear from teams' shirts within the next three years.
Under the proposal, a voluntary ban would come into effect at the start of the new season, but would allow existing deals to run their course, providing they expire no later than the 2024-25 campaign.
The communication with the 20 top-flight clubs represents the Premier League's most concerted effort to address an issue which has drawn intense political scrutiny in recent weeks
Experts says it may be hard to get teams to agree to a voluntary ban.
The reason for this is not far fetch as many premier league clubs get some revenue from this partnership with betting companies; plus some contracts will not have expired by the said time the league body wants the ban implemented.
