FX Broker Fortrade Becomes a Rangers FC Sponsor

Fortrade Limited, a London-based forex and CFDs broker, announced on Thursday its new sponsorship deal with the top Scottish football club, Rangers.

The brokerage signed an initial 18-month contract with the Glasgow-based club, becoming its ‘official online trading partner’. The deal was brokered by sports sponsorship agency, Van Hawke Sports.

“We’re excited to welcome Fortrade as the newest member of the Rangers Commercial Partner family and are delighted to have them on board for the remainder of the 2020/21 season, as well as our historic 150th Anniversary season in 2021/22,” Rangers’ Commercial and Marketing Director, James Bisgrove said on the partnership deal.

The sponsorship will put Fortrade’s logo on the LED boards of Ibrox Stadium, the home turf of Rangers, starting from the upcoming weekend’s Old Firm match between Rangers and Celtic.

The broker will also benefit from its visibility on other displays at Ibrox and across the team’s digital platforms.

“Rangers’ support spans the entire globe, which will provide worldwide exposure for Fortrade, who will benefit from a wide range of activations, both at our iconic Ibrox Stadium and across the club’s enhanced digital platforms,” Bisgrove added.
