Fun88 has announced its title sponsorship of the Vizag Warriors for the Andhra Premier League (APL). This partnership is part of Fun88's ongoing engagement with regional cricket leagues in India.
The Andhra Premier League, recognised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was established by the Andhra Cricket Association in 2022. The 2024 season began on 30 June and will conclude on 13 July, featuring six teams, including the Vizag Warriors, co-owned by Lifespan Pvt.
Dr Narendra Ram, Vizag Warriors co-owner and Lifespan Pvt Founder, commented: "We are thrilled to welcome Fun88 News as the official title sponsor of the Vizag Warriors. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to delivering an exceptional experience for our fans and aligns with our vision to support the growth of cricket in the region."
Fun88's sponsorship is expected to enhance the Vizag Warriors' resources and capabilities for the season.
In May 2024, Fun88 launched the ‘Fun88 X Evolution’ platform in collaboration with Evolution. This initiative included features like ‘Thunder888,' offering players a chance to win up to 25 times their bet amount and the ‘Lucky Reward,’ providing random cash prizes of up to 100 times the bet amount. These promotions were available until 31 May 2024.
Earlier in 2024, Fun88 sponsored Dabang Delhi, a team in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10. This partnership aimed to enhance Fun88's presence in India and support the development of kabaddi.
