Interesting Premier League Rule: Leicester Star Without a Sponsor!
The reason why Jeremy Monga, Leicester City’s young player, wore a sponsorless jersey in the match against Liverpool has been revealed.
According to reports, in today’s match between Leicester City and Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the only goal for the Reds, securing a 1-0 victory that brings Liverpool one step closer to the Premier League title while confirming Leicester’s relegation to the Championship.
However, one of the key moments of the match occurred in the final minutes when Jeremy Monga, aged just 15, came on as a substitute in the 85th minute, replacing Stephy Mavididi.
Fans quickly noticed the difference between Monga’s jersey and those of his teammates—his shirt lacked a sponsor logo. Only the club’s badge and Adidas branding were visible. This is due to Premier League regulations that prohibit players under 18 from advertising betting companies. Leicester’s sponsor is an online gaming platform classified under betting companies. Like several other Premier League clubs partnered with betting firms, Leicester’s youth teams have different sponsors compared to the senior squad.
