They are one of the leading football clubs in the world and a very successful business too, and we are looking forward to providing an exciting and professional betting service to all their fans and customers through our new and improved website and mobile betting platforms.

Chelsea Chief Executive Ron Gourlay said: ‘We are very pleased to align ourselves with such a leading betting company as Coral.

‘We spent considerable time planning and deciding on the right partner in this market sector and in Coral we have found, like ourselves, an established name that continues to grow both domestically and internationally. I hope Chelsea fans can benefit from the relationship over the next two-and-a-half years.’

Coral offers its customers a comprehensive range of betting opportunities on football, with over 100 markets offered on every Premier League match.
