FC Barcelona and Panasonic extend to 2017

Spanish giants FC Barcelona have announced a one-year extension to their sponsorship agreement with Panasonic.

The Catalan club confirmed the renewal, which sees the Japanese electronics company remain a global partner of the team, on Monday following a meeting of their board of directors.

Panasonic became an official partner of FC Barcelona in July 2013, signing a three-year deal for its Viera line of televisions to become the official TV of the current La Liga leaders.

FC Barcelona are currently four points clear at the top of La Liga after overcoming their arch rivals Real Madrid 2-1 in last weekend’s El Clasico.
