Napoli refreshes shirt sponsor deal

Italian Serie A football club Napoli has renewed its long-running shirt sponsorship deal with water brand Acqua Lete.

The one-year extension will cover the 2016-17 season and will take the partnership into a 12th year.

Acqua Lete’s branding will continue to appear on the front of Napoli’s playing jerseys as part of the deal.

President of Acqua Lete, Nicola Arnone, said: “We are proud to be the main sponsor of a club that thanks to the work, the planning and the respect of the financial fair play rules is now consistently among the top European teams.”

Napoli finished the 2015-16 Serie A season in second place, ensuring direct qualification for the Uefa Champions League group stages in 2016-17.
