About this episode:

What do Arsenal, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and the Home Nations football teams have in common? They're all partnering with fintech brands.

In this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, Kate Moody is joined by leaders from Zilch, Sokin and JPMorgan to explore why fintech and football have become such a powerful combination. From sponsorships and fan experiences to grassroots coaching and community impact, the panel examines how partnerships are evolving beyond branding and becoming part of the matchday experience itself.

With the World Cup kicking off across North America, they also discuss the future of fintech in football, the opportunities in the women's game, and what brands need to get right when entering one of the most passionate communities in the world.

This week's guests:

Kirsty Spickett - CMO at Zilch 

James Hannaford, Chief Growth Officer at Sokin

Deborah Keay - CMO, International Consumer at JPMorgan
