Skrill Announced as Chelsea FC's Official Partner for US Pre-Season Tour

Skrill, a digital wallet brand powered by Paysafe, has been named the official partner for Chelsea FC’s pre-season tour in the United States. As Chelsea prepares for the 2024-25 season, Skrill will sponsor the club’s opening pre-season match against League One team Wrexham AFC. This game will take place on July 24 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Founded in 2001 and operating under the Paysafe brand, Skrill will be prominently featured as the presenting partner for this fixture. The sponsorship aims to boost Skrill’s visibility and brand presence in North America.

Additionally, Skrill and Paysafe’s online cash solution will be available as a payment option on Chelsea FC’s online store throughout the rest of the year.

This partnership follows Chelsea FC’s previous collaboration with Parimatch, which concluded at the end of the last football season.

Casper Stylsvig, Chelsea's Chief Revenue Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership: “We are excited to have Skrill as the Official USA Pre-Season Tour Partner. Their approach to financial services aligns with our values, and we look forward to the innovative ways they will engage with our fans.”

Rob Gatto, Paysafe’s Chief Revenue Officer, highlighted the benefits of the deal: “Our Skrill digital wallet will enhance the matchday experience for Chelsea fans, allowing them to make quick and secure payments for merchandise with just a single tap on their smartphones. This ensures they won't miss any action on the field.”
