Dafabet to sponsor World Snooker’s Northern Ireland Open tournament
Asian sportsbook nets second snooker sponsorship of the season after supporting the English Open in October
Dafabet has been announced as the new sponsor of World Snooker’s Northern Ireland Open.
The Northern Ireland Open is the second event of this season’s Home Nations series to have been sponsored by Dafabet after the Asian-facing operator supported last month’s English Open, where Ronnie O’Sullivan lifted the title.
World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn said: “We are absolutely thrilled that Dafabet have come on board for yet another star-studded event.
“They have shown tremendous backing to our sport having already sponsored the English Open this season, as well as the upcoming Masters.
“The attention generated by what is a brilliant field, along with Ronnie O’Sullivan’s attempt to move another step towards the £1 million bonus will be sure to bring the Dafabet brand great exposure.”
Dafabet finished 28th in this year’s EGR Power 50.
