The Italian Rugby National team scores a try with Bitpanda

Orlando Merone, Country Manager Bitpanda Italy, says, “At Bitpanda, we’re here to change the game in the world of investing. And so is the Italian Rugby Federation in the world of rugby. We are delighted to be the FIR jersey sponsor for both the Senior and U20 male teams as this will provide an array of exciting opportunities to enhance our offer to existing and new Italian customers while creating unique new experiences. Rugby is all about integrity, respect and discipline, much like our business. We wish the teams the opportunity to grow more and more and achieve every success in the coming future.”

This sponsorship provides Bitpanda with a formidable platform to reach not only the Italian audience, but also a wider target of millions of rugby fans around the world.

Welcoming Bitpanda as a partner, Marzio Innocenti, President of the Italian Rugby Federation, says, “As the world changes, our game changes accordingly. At FIR we’re committed to keep on developing in order to face the challenges that the future will bring to us both on and off the field. A dynamic, tech-savvy and agile company, aiming to interact efficiently with our communities efficiently throughout science, technology and IT, while sticking to our tradition and our values. Online investments are undoubtedly the most relevant and interesting financial phenomenon at present day and we’re glad to welcome Bitpanda within the Italian rugby family as we do share a common goal and vision to fiercely develop as international competitors in our respective fields. I’m sure that the incumbent Guinness Six Nations Championship will allow both of us to jointly build our future up.”
