Such delight at the deal was corroborated by the Head of Marketing UK for Unibet, Sam Mead. Sam noted the relish of Unibet in becoming a major participant in the push to restore Aston Villa to its ancestral glory and place in the English Premier League. According to Sam Mead, “Unibet and Aston Villa are two of the biggest names in our respective fields with a rich heritage; Unibet genuinely understand football fans and, working together with Aston Villa, will be ensuring we enhance the enjoyment of their fans in all aspects of the beautiful game.

The ceremony got more flamboyant as at launch the new kit, Unibet gave excited Aston Villa fans the honorable opportunity to be the first to play on the new kit. 20 supporters joined by some big names like Dean Saunders, Emile Heskey, Stiliyan Petrov and Dion Dublin, stormed the pitch in a memorable five-a-side competition made of four teams. Emile Heskey’s team won the fun-splashed tournament at the end of the day.
Congrats to Aston Villa in their drive to climb up the soccer stairs back to the Premiership. We here can only wish that this partnership leads to success and competitive premier league returning back to the famous Villa Park, the club’ official stadium.
