Multinational Tipico Group, the leading sports betting and online gaming provider in Germany and Austria and one of Malta’s most attractive employers for more than 20 years, has entered a multi-year collaboration with the Malta Football Association (MFA) as the Official Partner of the Senior Men’s National Team to further strengthen its employer brand in Malta.

This agreement marks a significant milestone in Tipico’s two-decade history as an employer in Malta. The partnership will focus on strengthening the group’s talent acquisition through its portal Tipico Careers (www.tipico-careers.com), highlighting the company’s long-term commitment to local talent and plenty of employment opportunities in fields from tech to finance, legal and other business support roles.

Supporting Malta’s national football ecosystem will be upping Tipico’s visibility among Malta’s skilled workforce with a passion for sports.

As part of the partnership, the Tipico logo will appear across several official MFA and national team assets, including official technical wear and gear, such as training tops, training sweatshirts, polo shirts, tracksuit tops, and walk-on anthem jackets. Additionally, there will be advertising boards within the National Stadium, access to official merchandising products and tickets as well as digital and social media integrations. All digital activation shown will focus on Tipico’s employer portal Tipico Careers (www.tipico-careers.com).

Kajetan Strini-Brown, Director of Sports Brand & Marketing Acquisition at Tipico: ‘The brand Tipico is strongly rooted in professional football and so are our sponsoring activities. Furthermore Tipico is more than 20 years headquartered in Malta and employs more than 450 people on the island. That’s why we are absolutely delighted to enter this new partnership with the Maltese National Team to increase our visibility as a reliable, attractive and international employer in Malta.’

Bjorn Vassallo, President Malta FA: ‘We are very happy to welcome and team up with Tipico, a world-renowned brand in online gaming. Both organisations live and love football and this augurs well for a strong collaboration. Looking forward to succeeding together both on and off the pitch.’
