Floki's Formula One Success Story
One of World Sports Advertising’s most notable achievements was brokering the partnership between cryptocurrency brand Floki and the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen in early 2022.

WSA's expertise extended to English Premier League partnerships, successfully brokering the deal between Floki and Nottingham Forest Football Club in August 2024. This multi-layered partnership made Floki the official cryptocurrency partner of the historic club, featuring prominent LED perimeter advertising at the City Ground and press conference media backdrops. The deal provided Floki with access to the Premier League's enormous global reach of over 3.2 billion viewers annually across 212 territories.
Combat Sports Innovation with APU
Demonstrating versatility across sports categories, World Sports Advertising brokered an innovative partnership between meme cryptocurrency APU and the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), co-owned by sports icon Conor McGregor. This collaboration marked a significant milestone for APU, bridging decentralised internet culture with the visceral world of combat sports. The partnership included APU's logo prominently displayed on the unique "Squared Circle" ring, corner pads, and screens, along with a personalised welcome video message from Conor McGregor himself.
Strategic Positioning in Global Sports Marketing
The AYS Developers' partnership with the Argentine Football Association represents more than traditional sponsorship. It's a strategic alignment between architectural excellence and athletic prestige. AFA President Claudio Fabian Tapia emphasised this synergy, stating: "We're proud to welcome AYS Developers into the AFA family. AYS shares our values of excellence, vision, and commitment to growth. Just as we strive for greatness on the field, AYS Developers builds lasting impact off the field with projects that shape lives and communities."

These activations are strategically designed to offer clients and partners unforgettable experiences with one of the world's most beloved football associations.
The partnership extends beyond the FIFA World Cup 2026, providing AYS Developers with sustained exposure to Argentina's passionate football fanbase and the global audience that follows the Argentine national teams. This extended timeline allows for deeper brand integration and relationship building with target audiences across multiple markets.
The Future of Sports Partnership Innovation
This partnership exemplifies the evolving landscape of sports sponsorship, where strategic alignment between brands and sporting organisations creates value that extends far beyond traditional logo placement. The collaboration between WSA, MAG International, and these prestigious organisations demonstrates how expert partnership facilitation can unlock unprecedented opportunities for brand growth and market expansion.
