team sponsorship

Brand funds athletes

Team sponsorship is a marketing arrangement where a company provides financial support or resources to a sports team in exchange for promotional benefits—typically logo placement on uniforms, stadium signage, and association with the team's brand.

The sponsor gains visibility and credibility; the team gains funding.

The energy drink company's team sponsorship included naming rights to the arena.
