“But we haven’t yet received all the amount for the year,” the Euromatch–NPFL COO explained.

Three-Year Sponsorship Deal Explained

“This clarification is very important: $7.5m is the total three-year sponsorship package, not the actual money already received by the NPFL or its clubs,” he further said before breaking down the entire figure.

“$7.5m is the total sum for the three-year deal. $2.5m is the amount meant for each of the three years of sponsorship, while the first tranche received by the NPFL has already been shared with the clubs based on their agreed percentage.”
