Founded in 1931, the club has won the Brasileirão title twice – in 1959 and in 1988 – and their state title a total of 50 times.
Louis Cooper, Chief Commercial Officer at Axi, said:
“This new partnership with Esporte Clube Bahia is an exciting addition to our sponsorship portfolio, and one that compliments the global nature of our Man City relationship, allowing us to focus on a region that’s been important to us for some time and continues to grow. Our shared ambition and commitment to excellence make us ideal partners; giving our traders and clients the ‘edge’ has always been at the core of our values. At the same time, Esporte Clube Bahia have proven themselves for their perseverance and resilience, with their aspiration guiding them to success."
Raul Aguirre, Bahia SAF, CEO, commented:
“We are thrilled about our new partnership with Axi. With over 15 years of expertise, Axi has a proven track record of innovation and dependability. We look forward to a great collaboration and working together to take both the club and Axi to the next level.
This partnership announcement follows yesterday’s exciting official closing with City Football Group. We are already seeing momentum as we embark on the newest chapter of Bahia’s great history.”
Apart from the new partnership with Esporte Clube Bahia, Axi has been an Official Trading Partner of Bahia’s new sister club the English Premier League side, Manchester City FC, for three seasons.
