Ittai Ben Zeev, CEO of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange: “Our goal is to bring the Israeli public closer to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and there is no better way to do this than through the Israeli football. We see the great value in our strategic partnership with the Israeli Professional Football Leagues (IPFL) and believe in connecting with a new and diverse audience of people from all over the country."
The management of the Israeli Professional Football Leagues (IPFL), football club owners, players and coaches descended on Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) this morning to mark the opening of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange League season 2019-2010 in August 24, 2019.
Two months ago, TASE signed a three-year primary sponsorship agreement with the IPFL. According to the agreement, the official name of the Premier League for the next three seasons will be the “Tel Aviv Stock Exchange League".
Erez Halfon, IPFL Chairman: “TASE is the Israel's leading financial institution and is vitally important to the country. Its decision to sign an agreement to adopt the Israeli football premier league for the coming three years demonstrates the enormous trust TASE's management has in Israel's most loved sport. Israeli football is regaining its status as one of the most attractive venues for sponsorships. TASE will assist in providing players and club personnel with the tools and financial education program to prepare for the day after retirement, and for this, we are very grateful.
Ittai Ben Zeev, TASE CEO:
