Sparta Rotterdam and Blue10 have extended their partnership until at least the summer of 2028. The early extension of the contract, which was due to run until the end of the 2025/2026 season, sends a powerful signal. The Blue10 logo will continue to adorn the back of the football kit of all Sparta teams for the next three seasons. This means that the software company, which helps organisations with solutions for booking, approving and retrieving invoices and contracts, will be featured on Sparta Rotterdam’s football kit for seasons five, six and seven.
Dave van der Meer, Commercial Manager at Sparta, is delighted with the extension: “The Blue10 logo has become a familiar sight on our kits. First between 2021 and 2023 on the shorts and since then on the upper back. The fact that we have extended the current contract at an early stage shows the mutual confidence we have in achieving each other’s objectives. In addition, we are of course very pleased that we will be able to continue this pleasant collaboration for the next three years.”
Marcel Duijvestein and Niels van Buuren, joint owners of Blue10, are proud of the extended collaboration: “We are proud to renew our partnership with Sparta Rotterdam. For four years now, we have felt a strong connection with the club and its rich tradition, in which we recognise many of our own values: ambition, collaboration and a strong bond with the supporters. Although there was still a year left on the current contract, we have made a conscious decision to commit to another two years now. Like Sparta Rotterdam, our vision is focused on the long term, and this early renewal is an expression of our mutual trust. We look forward to further deepening our partnership and continuing to shape the activation of our sponsorship.”
