Strategic Move with Geelong Cats Partnership</p><p>Earlier,
<a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/">Finance Magnates</a> reported that <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/pepperstone-enters-aussie-football-with-geelong-cats-sponsorship/">Pepperstone
strengthened its sports presence</a> by partnering with Geelong Cats, a
prominent Australian Football League (AFL) team. The Melbourne-based agency,
Bastion, facilitated the deal, making Pepperstone the official online trading
partner of Geelong Cats. The sponsorship signifies Pepperstone's commitment to
the AFL community and aligns with their Australian heritage. </p><p>In
contrast to the prevalent trend of brokers associating with European football,
Pepperstone's move highlights a shift towards supporting local sports teams.
The financial services industry, particularly forex and CFD brokers,
traditionally invested heavily in European football, with $125 million spent on
football deals during the 2020-21 season, as reported by Sportsquake.</p>
