Britain’s national governing body for taekwondo, GB Taekwondo, has announced a sponsorship deal with gaming brands Beacon Bingo and Cashino.
The deal means Beacon Bingo and Cashino will jointly sponsor the senior British taekwondo team and the inaugural World Taekwondo Grand Prix, which takes place in Manchester on December 13-15.
Leading British taekwondo athletes Jade Jones, Lutalo Muhammad and Martin Stamper are among those to be supported by the sponsorship ahead of the Manchester event – the first time the UK will host world level Taekwondo athletes since the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Beacon Bingo and Cashino’s parent company Praesepe agreed a deal to sponsor Olympic gold medallist Jones earlier this year.
The length of the new agreement was not disclosed.
