Covering both the men’s and women’s FA Cups (officially known as the Emirates FA Cup and the Adobe Women’s FA Cup, respectively), the deal will entail bespoke branded content, highlight integrations, and bespoke behind-the-scenes access for Simba. The brand will be integrated into TNT Sports’ coverage of the FA Cups as well as its digital and social media content for the same in the UK and Ireland.
