Mondogoal targets Italy with Intralot partnership

Global daily fantasy football platform Mondogoal has entered into a partnership with Intralot as part of a move to expand its services into the Italian market.

The deal will coincide with the launch of Mondogoal’s new Italian-facing website, which is now open for real-money and free-play in the country.

Intralot will be the first global gambling firm to partner Mondogoal, although the fantasy football brand said it is actively seeking similar deals with other firms.

Shergul Arshad, founder and chief executive of Mondogoal, said: “We are excited to continue toward our vision as the largest global daily fantasy company by launching Mondogoal in Italy.

“Intralot is the first of our deals with online sports betting sites overseas.

“In my years of experience as head of digital at AS Roma [Italian Serie A football club] I became very familiar with many important people in the world of football and I think that Intralot is the perfect partner for our ambitions.”
