Venezia FC and Football Manager announce partnership

Venezia FC are pleased to announce a new partnership with Football Manager, the world’s most popular football management simulation game, developed by Sports Interactive. Football Manager will be a Venezia FC Official Partner from the ongoing 2022/23 season.

The partnership brings together two brands with a shared focus on innovation and a strong commitment to youth development.

“It is with great pleasure we announce the partnership with Venezia FC,” said Richard Trafford, Sports Interactive’s Head of Partnerships and Business Development. “The clubs recent run of good form has been fantastic, and we hope for a strong second half of the season for our first partner in Italy. As a studio, we are honored to be part of an establishment founded 115 years ago that is supported globally. Venezia FC is a forward-thinking football club, alongside a world-leading brand, and we are excited to work together on collaborations moving forward.”

In addition to prominent visibility of the Football Manager brand at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, including branding on the dugouts, the agreement will present a special package of FM23 included with the Venezia FC 22/23 third shirt, which will be available on shop.veneziafc.it from Friday 23 December 2022.

“The partnership with Sports Interactive and FM23 transcends the concept of traditional partnership, enabling fans to get behind the scenes and closer to our club”, said Venezia FC Business Director Gianluca Santaniello. “We are honored to begin this journey with one of the greatest cult games on the planet, and we are very excited about the Christmas launch of a special-edition bundle and to see FM23 branding on the dugouts at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo soon, where gamers could dream to sit as real managers one day.”
