Financial services firm in Belgian football deal

A financial services firm has netted a European football deal.

Ebury has become an official partner of Royal Antwerp FC.

The deal extends the company’s relationship with the Belgian side, having operated as its banking partner since 2024.

Under the terms of the agreement – which is set to run until 2028 – Ebury’s brand will appear throughout the club’s Bosuilstadion and across incoming transfer announcements.

It will also participate in club business events.

Maurits Zwart, co-global head of sport at Ebury, whose office network includes an Antwerp base, said: “Royal Antwerp represents ambition, resilience and a forward-looking mindset – values that closely match our own.

“We are proud to strengthen our commitment to the club.”

Tom Aerts, Royal Antwerp strategic partnerships lead, added: “We are pleased Ebury will become an active member of our business community, and we look forward to creating new opportunities on and off the pitch.”

The agreement comes just days after Ebury – whose UK estate includes offices in London, Birmingham and High Wycombe – signed as Premier League side Ipswich Town’s official foreign exchange partner.

It was also previously named official foreign exchange provider at fellow top-tier outfit Aston Villa.
