This association between NorthEast United Football Club and Parimatch News is therefore quite fitting.”

BKT’s belief that sport has the power to unite communities is one that NorthEast United also shares, and these synonymous values are the foundation that this partnership was built on. The extension of our association is a testament to the mutual support and appreciation that both parties have for each other. Together with BKT Tires, we want to continue the development of football within the region.”
