"This agreement is a step forward for LaLiga in its strategy of digitalization and reaching young audiences, as well as a reinforcement of our work on social media,” said Alfredo Bermejo, Digital Strategy Director of LaLiga. “Among the major European leagues, we are leaders with the most followers on social media, as we currently have more than 164 million, a record figure. The Snap ecosystem tools also allow us to offer quality LaLiga content to younger fans.”
Alejandro Arenas, International Sports Partnerships, Snap Inc. said, “We are so thrilled to partner with LaLiga, one of the world's most important sports leagues, and to be able to offer premium football content to Snapchatters across the globe.
