Melbourne Football Club chief executive officer Peter Jackson said the partnership is a great fillip for the club.
“We are absolutely delighted to have entered into a new partnership with IG – a global, market-leading company,” he said.
“It is a mutual benefit for both parties, and a testament to the continued growth of this club – both on and off the field. We are excited about the opportunities for both businesses, and are genuinely optimistic about laying the foundation for a long-term partnership over the next two years.”
IG Group’s head of Asia Pacific Tamas Szabo said: “We are very excited about our partnership with the Melbourne Football Club. Their heritage as pioneers of Australian Rules football matches IG’s proud history as innovators in online trading on financial markets. We're going long Melbourne.”
