Tennis tournament Bengaluru Open, an ATP Challenger event, has signed sports news and analysis company DafaNews as its title sponsor for the next three years. The sponsorship deal will be effective from the upcoming 2023 edition of the tournament which begins in February. This news website is a subsidiary of Dafabet, an online betting company headquartered in Makati, Philippines.
The Bengaluru Open, organized by the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA), has been running since 2015.
“We are delighted to welcome them as the title sponsor of the Bengaluru Open. Their commitment as well as presence within the sports community will strengthen our vision of nurturing the sports ecosystem within the country. Built on a strong foundation of trust and shared vision for the growth of Indian tennis, we look forward to a long and successful association that will raise the bar for this prestigious tournament,” said Sunil Yajman, Tournament Director, Bengaluru Open.
Joao Coimbra Tavares, manager of the news website, said, “Partnering with the Bengaluru Open is a wonderful opportunity. We are showing our support for the development of tennis in India and this is one more step towards doing so. We are glad that we were given this opportunity and we are very happy to have the opportunity to sponsor an ATP event once again.
The tournament has attracted tennis stars since its inception and this year’s edition will be no different with former world number ten Lucas Pauli and last year’s champion Chun-Sean Tseng competing for the coveted title.
The Bengaluru Open will be held at the KSLTA Stadium, with the qualifiers from February 19 to 20 while the main draw will be played from February 20 to 26.
