August 18 – Financial services platform Marex has become Nottingham Forest’s new Principal Partner, taking the front-of-shirt sponsorship for the club’s men’s and women’s teams, with the brand also featuring on replica shirts. No value was given for the “multi-year partnership” which sees Marex replace online gaming brand Bally’s who had a one-season deal for 2025-26. The deal was announced four days before Forest, under new manager Oliver Glasner, open their Premier League campaign on Saturday at home to Leeds United. Evangelos Marinakis, Nottingham Forest Owner, said: “Marex is an ambitious, global business with a strong reputation for excellence and performance, and those qualities reflect our own ambitions for Nottingham Forest. This partnership is another important step in the continued growth of our Club, and we look forward to working together and building a successful relationship.” Marex, a global financial services platform with more than 50 offices worldwide and over 3,000 employees across Europe, Asia and the Americas, will be the Forest’s Global Markets Partner and the exclusive provider of foreign exchange and other financial services. As well as branding across the football club’s shirts, at the City Ground and on all digital platforms, Marex brand will also feature on the dresses of Nottingham Forest Netball’s team that plays in the Netball Super League. Marex said it “is committed to encouraging more women to pursue careers in financial services, and its sponsorship of the Women’s team is an important element of this partnership. Together, Nottingham Forest and Marex will raise awareness of career opportunities for women across the financial services industry, while also developing initiatives to improve financial literacy in the community.” Ian Lowitt, Marex Chief Executive, said: “At Marex we have built our global business by developing trusted, long-term relationships with our clients and growing alongside them… We are genuinely excited by the opportunity to work with Forest and support their goals, just as we support our clients in achieving theirs. High performance, ambition and teamwork unite our organisations and provide a strong foundation for this partnership.” Contact the writer of this story at [email protected]
