eToro has continued its recent streak of sport sponsorship deals by signing a two-year partnership agreement with Dutch football club AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday. The partnership, which was ratified at the AFAS Stadium in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, will expire by mid-2025.

eToro Expands Football Sponsorship

Eelco David Vos, eToro’s Regional Manager for the Netherlands and the Nordic Region announced the agreement on Wednesday in a LinkedIn post. However, the executive did not provide details on expectations from both parties.

“With innovation and team spirit, AZ has conquered its place at the top of Dutch football. This approach is in line with eToro's philosophy: challenging the established order by being open to new ideas and daring to experiment. By learning from each other, we make investing accessible to everyone," Vos wrote in the LinkedIn post announcing the deal.

“We admire AZ's ability to reinvent itself every year by investing in young talent and giving them the confidence to grow,” the Regional Manager further said in a statement published on the club’s website and translated to English from Dutch.

The new collaboration with the Dutch club is the third sports sponsorship deal eToro has signed this year. On Monday, the Israeli social trading and investment firm marked its first entry into the world of basketball by becoming the new official sponsor of Baskonia, a professional Spanish basketball club.

The firm also recently inked a deal to sponsor the next season of Premiership Rugby, an English professional rugby union league. The agreement is part of eToro’s efforts to expand its UK sports sponsorship footprint.

In addition, eToro with the new partnership further expanded its sports sponsorship portfolio that includes several football clubs. The investment firm’s existing deals cover over 17 teams spread across the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A, and Rugby Australia. Last year, the firm also extended its sports deal with AS Monaco, a popular football club in Europe.

Speaking on the new agreement, Michael Koster, Commercial Director of AZ Alkmaar, expressed confidence in the partnership’s potential to contribute to the development of both parties.

“I am pleased that eToro will be closely involved with our club for the next two years," Koster noted. "Like AZ, eToro values ​​community and continuously improves people and their performance through innovative solutions."
