Everton exciting future outlined after MegaFon deal realises commercial vision

Megafon chief executive Gevork Vermishyan says his company are "delighted" to have signed an agreement to become the principal partner of Everton Women.

The deal sees MegaFon become the team's front-of-shirt sponsor and Yota - a company which sits under the MegaFon umbrella - the sleeve sponsor.

Today's announcement is an extension of the deal MegaFon already had in place as the men's training wear sleeve sponsor and the club's official matchday presenting partner.

Sarvar Ismailov, Everton Women's sporting and commercial director, says the partnership "demonstrates the exciting trajectory" of both the team and MegaFon.

Vermishyan said: “We are delighted to further expand our agreement with Everton in what is a very exciting time for Everton Women.

“This partnership allows us to support the women’s game in England and be part of a Club with huge ambition and an international reach playing in the now globally recognised WSL.

“We wish the Club the very best of luck for the Women’s FA Cup Final this weekend and the rest of the 2020/21 season, as we look forward to building on our strong relationship with Everton, Everton Women and their international fanbase.”

Ismailov added: “This partnership reflects the increasing prominence of the women's game and the exciting future for our women’s team.

 “Securing exclusive commercial partnerships for Everton Women has been a key part of our vision and strategy for developing a team that challenges at the top of the Women's Super League. We are delighted that MegaFon has seen the opportunity to join us on that exciting journey.

"This is a truly international partnership and having a company of such a scale as a principal partner demonstrates the exciting trajectory for both Everton Women and MegaFon.”
