London, 31 January, 2018 - Skrill, a Paysafe company and a global leader in digital wallets and mobile payments, has signed a sponsorship deal with F5WC, the world’s largest 5-a-side football tournament.

Over 10,000 5-a-side teams from more than 30 countries compete in the F5WC world cup. 350 qualifying events will culminate in a grand final in Shanghai, China in September 2018.

As part of the sponsorship, Skrill’s logo will feature on team shirts and pitch-side throughout the stages of the competition. Skrill is also the official payment partner for the global tournament, used for team fees and the merchandise website.
