Credit Agricole invests in Euro 2016

Banking group Credit Agricole has been named as the third national sponsor of Uefa Euro 2016 ahead of France’s hosting of the national team football competition.

Credit Agricole will be the official bank of Euro 2016, building upon a long-standing association with football in France which has seen it partner the 1998 Fifa World Cup organising committee.

The tournament’s organising committee, Euro 2016 SAS, named recruitment agency Proman as a national sponsor last week, while French lottery operator FDJ was the first company to take on the designation last October.

The fourth of six national sponsors for Euro 2016 is set to be revealed in the coming weeks.
