PEC Zwolle covers gambling sponsor logo on shirts after Dutch sponsorship ban
PEC Zwolle covered the Circus.nl logo on its previous-season shirts for a pre-season friendly, as online gambling sponsorship of sport had been prohibited in the Netherlands from 1 July 2025. The Kansspelautoriteit said it had issued warnings over remaining gambling advertisements, including a Circus.nl pennant offered in a football-club webshop.
Operators and clubs face enforcement exposure if online gambling sponsorship remains visible after the Dutch ban took effect.
