A team in one of the biggest soccer leagues in the world, the Watford Football Club (FC), is set to feature the Dogecoin logo on its sleeves for the 2021/2022 season after inking a deal with gambling website Stake.com.
According to a report from The Athletic, first spotted by Daily Hold, the deal was worth close to $1 million. It won’t be Watford FC’s first cryptocurrency-related partnership, as CryptoGlobe has in September 2019 reported on its deal with Sportsbet.io to feature the Bitcoin logo on their sleeves.
The English Premier League is said to be one of the most lucrative soccer leagues in the world, and is one of the most widely watched throughout the world. Dogecoin has seen search interest for it explode during its massive 10,000% price rally, as it went from an average of 135,000 monthly searches in April 2020 to 16.5 million in April 2021.
