Online payments and prepaid card provider Neosurf has entered a sponsorship agreement with Excel Esports.

The partnership will see Neosurf branding added to Excel’s jerseys for the League of Legends European Championship (LEC), and for LVP’s UK League Championship (UKLC) for the 2020 season.

The two will also collaborate on a League of Legends preseason event, to be held at Excel’s UK home at Twickenham Stadium, while Neosurf will be integrated with the organisation’s upcoming ecommerce shop.

Commenting on the news, Director of Partnerships at Neosurf, Antoine Metivier, said:

“We are excited to be supporting such a great team and organization. We see a great future ahead of us, by helping support such positivity and excellence in this arena.”

While CEO of Excel Esports, Kieran Holmes-Darby, added:

“We are very proud to be announcing Neosurf as our Official Online Payment Partner. We hope to help Neosurf solidify themselves as an endemic payment provider in the esports ecosystem and as a valued service provider to the industry.”
