This was announced by the Premier League side and the sports betting provider after Liverpool FC qualified for the Champions League final, which is taking place on 28 May in Paris.
“As a reliable sports betting provider, we always strive for long-term partnerships and corporations with international reputation,” added Stefan Sulzbacher, Interwetten Speaker of the Board.

Furthermore, Interwetten has also underlined an ambition to deliver ‘emotional brand experiences’ and entertainment opportunities for football fans.

The collection features illustrations of 24 LFC men’s team players in the aim of ‘bringing their individual and superhero characteristics to life’, and the release consists of two categories of digital collectibles.
Similar to its newest deal, Liverpool has previously partnered with sports betting operator 188Bet in a three year contract from September 2021.
