Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace have signed a one-year deal with betting company 12BET to sponsor Selhurst Park.

The deal still means that contrary to previous rumours circling around, Selhurst Park will not be renamed.

12BET are based on the Isle of Man and will become Palace's official betting partner.

Palace co-chairman Steve Parish told the offical Palace website: "I am delighted to name 12BET as our new stadium sponsor and look forward to a successful and long-term partnership between the two parties.

"As the club returns to the Premier League, there is great excitement at what can be achieved on and off the pitch and on behalf of our owners I have great pleasure in welcoming our first ever stadium sponsor to our corporate family."

Rory Anderson, CEO of 12BET, said: "We are delighted to be the first company in our sector to pull off a stadium sponsorship deal in the Premier League.

"12BET are an in-play football betting specialist, so to have a Premier League stadium associated with our brand is a real coup for us.

"Crystal Palace is a great club with a fantastic history and I am very much looking forward to sampling the atmosphere at Selhurst Park."
