OKX Extends Partnership with Manchester City
In March this year, Manchester City, the winners of the 2021/2022 English Premier League, named OKX its official cryptocurrency partner as part of a multimillion-dollar arrangement.
On Monday, July 11th, OKX announced that it had agreed to become the new training kit partner for both the Manchester City Football Club’s men’s and women’s teams for the 2022/2023 season. Manchester City Football Club will display the OKX crypto exchange brand image on both the men’s and women’s training kits throughout the upcoming season.
Global Chief Marketing Officer at OKX Haider Rafique said: “Being Man City’s official training kit partner helps us extend that mindset from the training ground over to our trading app community.”
