Cash-strapped Santos sign shorts sponsor

Financially stricken Brazilian soccer club Santos have reportedly agreed a sponsorship deal with supplements brand Voxx.

The one-year contract includes branding on the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A side’s shorts, according to Maquina do Esporte.

Voxx already has deals in place with five other Brazilian teams: América-MG, Botafogo, Figueirense, Fluminense and Portuguesa.

While financial terms have not been released, the new deal will come as a welcome boost for Santos, who are reported to have debts totalling US$127 million.

Last season, the club was unable to attract a main kit sponsor and therefore switched to a match-by-match shirt sponsorship model in a bid to raise funds.
