AC Milan and Skrill have shared details for the first time of the four year partnership deal they recently signed which sees Skrill become the Club’s Official Global Payments Partner.
Although the deal was signed some weeks ago, and the Skrill name has already appeared in the San Siro stadium on several occasions, both parties were reluctant to talk about marketing activities at a time when both the Club and Italy were enduring the devastating arrival and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. Instead, both Skrill and AC Milan refocused their efforts and found ways to support the local community, putting the partnership activation plans on a temporary hold.
While the COVID-19 crisis is far from over, following the return to training last week, the two companies feel the time is now right to talk more about their collaboration and their hopes for players and fans as football starts to make a gradual come back.
