It was on the cards, but Barca ????

Great Coup ...

Barcelona have agreed a record shirt sponsorship deal with the Qatar Foundation worth 30 million euros ($40 million) a season through to the end of the 2015-16 campaign, the La Liga champions said on Friday.

The deal is the biggest for any soccer club, Barca said on their website (www.fcbarcelona.cat), and will net the Catalan side about 165 million euros in total, including 15 million euros for the remainder of the current season.

Most probably a strong business motive in both parties minds.

Orxy it's good to see girls giving their opinion here as well.That's quite unusual :)

Not doubting that but as Brit says its a clever move.

I think Barca is the most favourite international footie team here....so win win win all the way round.

And as you said on another thread....I too have noticed a lot more industrial traffic on the roads this week.

A clever move - using Qatar Foundation as the sponsor. The charity and non-profit designation works in barca's favour..
