The 1st sponsorship chosen was a men's clothing store called PHM Saint Peres. The store mostly deals with online orders but does have a store right in Paris. A statement made on their official Instagram page stats "We are proud to announce the partnership between us and one of the most exciting full backs in the SSL, we know Jay Bryzski is destined for great things and his on-field flair and creativity perfectly represents our brand. We have a few projects lined up with Jay that we are very excited to release, and we can't wait to show them for you all. Once again we are so happy with this partnership, and we can't wait to see what this next season brings for Jay both on and off the field." We've learned that part of this sponsorship includes atleast one autograph signing in the store during the preseason along with an instore photoshoot and an interview with the company's social media team that will be shown on Jay's and the company's social media pages. We can also confirm that this sponsorship doesn't include clothing brands or labels, but he can't post about any other clothing store on social media and currently PHM Saint Peres is the only store that can use Jay's image in the store. Bryzski released a video on his socials saying "I'm so excited to be partnering up with PHM Saint Peres, they are my first professional sponsorship and I think this partnership will be great for both of our brands. I came in into their store a week after I got to Paris and the store left such an impression on me. They had such a great verity of streetwear and business attire that you really can go there for an type of style you're looking for. They did say they had some people that will help step up my fashion game, which since Paris is my that is a huge deal. Also keep an eye out because we have some awesome projects coming out soon. But until then thank you very one for your continued support and Viva Pa-ree!" We weren't able to confirm the compensation side of the sponsorship but we do know the company has an option to terminate the deal if Jay moves to a different team. APPROVED

Fans see what he does on the field, but they may not see much else of him off of the pitch. However, what many of the Catalunya fans do know, is that Shion Okamoto is very particularly fond of a very specific snack. And that snack is also what his nickname is on the field and off the field. That nickname is Twix. So naturally, with Okamoto being one of the most tenured members of the Catalunya football club, the makers of Twix (the makers are actually Mars corporation) decided they needed to seize this great opportunity to get on the map. Naturally, they roped Shion Okamoto into being part of their somewhat famous marketing campaign, which asks the simple question, are you left Twix or right Twix? Of course, most people would assume that Okamoto if right Twix, simply because they are accustomed to seeing him line up on the right wing of the pitch. However, when asked, Okamoto would note that he is actually left Twix. For some reason, no one actually knows the reason why Okamoto decided to choose the left side, as whenever he is pressed by the media or the fans, he simply declines to provide an actual reason as to why he is actually right Twix. So at most matches, you can find Okamoto before the beginning signing some autographes while passing out some Twix bars to the fans that decide to visit his booth. Though the most popular promotion he does also happens before the game, but around the pitch. Okamoto simply runs around the entire field with a basket of Twix bars, and throws them out to everyone in the crowd. These are not just any ordinary Twix bars though, they actually are a collaboration with CF Catalunya. So if a fan who catches a Twix bar is lucky enough, they could have the chance to open the wrapper and find tickets to an upcoming match. Or even better, if they get catch a very rare platinum Twix bar, they could have the chance to win two season tickets! APPROVED LEFT TWIX REPRESENT

He recently received a call from Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, or as Americans know it as, BMW, the greatest car company known to man. Finally, after years and years of dreaming for the BMW sponsorship, since he was a kid, it has happened and is now available for Michael Muller to be there for. You see, his family always had old used BMWs, as they did not grow up in the wealthiest situation and were lucky to get Michael Muller to work with the great Michael Ballack, as stated previously. Well, Mr. Ballack always drove the newest BMWs and it just had the family in awe. Michael Muller was able to get a deal going with the BMW sponsorship, that his mom and dad would get the newest 2023 BMW M4, so they would no longer have to drive around in a 1997 BMW 5 Series, and that they would always have it taken care of as long as Michael Muller was sponsored by the BMW. Which way, Michael Muller is now the face of BMW, as he, on his off days, is now shooting a brand new commercial for BMW. It starts with you see the brand new 2023 BMW M440 driving down the Autobahn, with music playing, and you can’t see who’s driving. Then you hear “Wouldn’t you love to just cruise, down the Autobahn, no top, loving life?” In German of course. Michael Muller flashes into the camera, behind the wheel, top down. “Live life like Michael Muller, no cares in the world, come on down to your closest BMW and STRIKE a deal for your own M440 Today.” Muller flashes a smile to the camera, and states how much he loves his BMW, as he models with it, hand on the hood, showing off the side of the car. You then hear Michael Muller state “This is without a doubt the best BMW since sliced bread, go on down and strike a deal for your own BMW today.” Music continues to play. Screen fades to black. BMW, Get yours. (359 words) APPROVED I always mute the tele when that commercial comes on

While clearly not one for reading manga, he doesn't have anything against it but he admits he lacks the interest and the time to check it regularly, some friends were familiar with the publication and promptly led him to accept the offer with the added bonus of voicing himself if the manga is to be adapted into an animated show. "The Ace of the Pitch" is a story about the potential-heavy but shy Teppei Kashiwazaki and his teammates out of Shibuya Main High School, where they form a pact to guarantee a successful move towards professional careers into the sport straight out of the gate with the belief that, should they dominate the school level, professional clubs will be very much keen into taking them in. Squall's role in the story sees him as a sort of guru that assists the team's defenders, including bratty Ken'ichi Takahashi, straight-laced Yasuhiro Ikeda, rough kid Masanori Matsumura, genius Tomohiro Suzuki and judo crossover player/butt of the jokes Ryûta Tsuboi... as he happens to have ramen at the shop the team uses as their unofficial headquarters. The following is a script version of some pages featuring the Tokyo SC defender: Under cold weather, the team members find themselves standing on a grassy pitch while their trainer for the day, Squall Vercetti, observes them. Ippei Fuse: Oi, Vercetti, you tosser! We shouldn't be playing footy at freezing water temperatures! Squall Vercetti: Huh... guess they don't make them strong at England, I see. Ippei Fuse: What's that ya sayin'? Squall Vercetti: Did I hit a nerve? Good. You defenders take note, if the opposing striker is pissed by your mere presence, you're doing your job right. Yoon Jin-suk: You fell for it real bad, Ippei. Ippei Fuse: Psh. C'mon, then. The half-Brit, half-Japanese forward dragged the ball with his left foot, smirking at the defender. Ippei Fuse: C'mon, you overgrown- Squall sped while Ippei prepared his taunt, promptly kicking the ball hard out of his foot. The team's main goalkeeper Tetsuji Murai managed to stop the ball with his hands. Squall Vercetti: Got a lot to learn... mate. "The Ace of the Pitch" features every second and fourth's weekend of the month's edition of Shonen Manga Cognac.

It certainly wasn't the first name that came to mind, but after hearing the name being shouted on live broadcast, it quickly took on as the nickname to which Sky Ryze was lovingly referred to. Since joining Tokyo Sports Club from FC Rio, it was an adjustment for Ryze to get the attention that he did. Both by fans and the opposition. Suddenly being the main and only option up top in a roster that had a bounty of talent of technical talent and rapid pace meant that it was all in service of him. And with it, the calling came. Tokyo Tower already had a pair of mascots called the Noppon Brothers. As anything in Tokyo they were adorable, but suddenly with the passion the country has for football combined with a new international star, it was the perfect match. Ryze immediately became an ambassador for the city's tourism, notably being present on all the merchandising and advertising for tourists being welcomed into the Tokyo district. In this sponsorship from the Tokyo tourism industry, Ryze found the benefit of finding himself taken to all sorts of areas of the city, enjoying the nooks and crannies of the metropolis, finding himself frequently being recognized by casual and serious fans following the SSL internationally. There would be a variety of gift baskets with the classic Tokyo Bananas and hiyoko aplenty. Eventually the consistency of this gift got to the point where rather than keeping it in his overflowing stock back home, it was a regular occurrence for him to pass these to fans during the end of games as a way to promote his sponsor as well as make sure he has fewer laying around for him to snack on. It almost became a meme of its own where fans would regularly pose with Ryze in surprise photos, instagram tags always including some evidence of a Tokyo banana. It got to the point where the community embraced this joke and it became a "where's waldo" sort of thing, always ensuring that there was a Tokyo banana included somewhere, but in a way that required anybody else viewing the photos to try and find it themselves.

Unfortunately, this didn't happen in Cairo where Houde is playing. The Cairo fans often criticize him for his poor play and his poor decisions on the field, so if Pierre wants to make a bit extra money, he has to go back to his native Quebec, because they're so proud to see a French Canadian play in the biggest football league in the world. Pierre initially reached out to the big companies, who didn't want nothing to do with him, as they're more interested in the hockey players from the Belle Province, so Pierre had to go for lesser known companies, but the problem was it doesn't come with a paycheck as big as he wanted and more notably, it wasn't the national sponsorship he was after. That all changed on a good day where Pierre was back home in the offseason and he received a strange call from an unknown caller, telling him that a limousine was waiting for him out front and that the cartel wanted to speak to him. He was pushed in a limousine without knowing where he was going. He met with a strange looking man in a sugar shack deep into the woods. The perfect place to get killed without anyone ever knowing. At least that's what he thought, until the man turned out to be really nice. He made him taste delicious maple syrup and amazing maple snacks. He then told Pierre that the maple syrup cartel has decided to make him the new spokesperson of the Quebec maple syrup. His global notoriety, for the better or for the worse, will help the cartel move their products in the entire world and more importantly, fill their pockets and Pierre and that's what's important. In the end, Pierre never knew how the cartel got his number and his address. He still doesn't know anyone's name. He doesn't know if the marketing campaign was successful. The only thing he knows is that it's making him swim in money every month when the money is deposited in his bank account and that's what matters the most. 371 words APPROVED

<a href='https://simsoccer.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=1391&hl=' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>(S4) Wesley Stains player page</a> <a href='https://simsoccer.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=423&view=findpost&p=16717' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>CPT2</a> Wesley Stains has been a pretty inconsequential player in the Simulation Soccer League through his rookie and sophomore season, nonetheless he had received many offers for a sponsorship. He got calls from Nike, Subway, and even Gatorade but Stains passed up on these sponsors after some hard thought. He thought, "why should I be like every other athlete and do a sports brand like Nike or a food or an energy drink?". You see, Stains wanted a sponsor that would fit his name and would give everyone a good chuckle when they heard it. That's why Cairo City's Wesley Stains das signed a sponsorship deal with none other than Tide Detergent, the best detergent to remove stains and brighten whites! For his first promotion with Tide, Stains starred in a commercial which depicted Stains as a tiny soccer player kicking the ball at all the stains in a plain white t-shirt. Every time he hit a stain with the ball, suds would start to appear, and the stain would dissipate. The ad was a hit among fans of soccer and laundry detergent alike as Tide saw a 600 percent boost in sales after the first airing of the ad. Tide really raked in a lot of money off this ad, mainly from Egyptians buying their detergent to wash their Cairo City FC jerseys, so of course they were interested in doing another promotion with Wesley. The second promotion was an in-person event, where Wesley would sign bottles of Tide detergent. When Wesley first heard this idea, he thought it was a silly investment for Tide, as they were willing to pay him a large sum to attend such a silly event. However, much to Wesley's surprise, there was a line put of the building and around the block of people waiting to get their limited edition signed Wesley Stains bottle of Tide detergent. Stains was there for 3 hours and signed over 500 autographs, they really put him to work. That was his last time working with Tide, however it was definitely worth it because they gave him enough money to outright buy one of the Pyramids of Giza, which he did. APPROVED PS: I guess you could say that tide dried up.

Though he was quite astounded that some companies wished to have him pitch their products, Nico was more than happy to oblige. So, when La Cascada, the soda company from back home, came calling, Nicolás was ready to speak with them. Though he always liked Coca Cola, los sabores de la cascada were still near and dear to his heart. He especially loved their lima limon flavor. So, during the offseason, when he had the chance to visit his hometown of La Paz, he was able to meet with the La Cascada executives who had flown in from Santa Cruz that morning. What would they require of him? Surely he could just present his smiling face, and that would be enough for the company. Nicolás was surprised when they offered him a substantial amount of money as a one-time bonus should he sign with them. Outside of his SSL paychecks, he had not seen that much money all in one sitting. Needless to say, he signed on and worked with the company to develop a new flavor, which combined his two favorite fruits, kiwi and maracuya (passion fruit). Though it might not work in places such as the United States or western Europe, the new product was a hit in his native Bolivia, and across South America. Soon, all the kiddos were drinking the new kiwi and maracuya concoction. Things got out of hand, though, so Nicolás had to make a second campaign, alongside his dentist and the team doctor, where he and the medical professionals told the kiddos that they should not only drink soda. They had to mix in some water every now and then. "Drink 8 glasses of water per day, and try to limit yourself to one or two sodas per day," he said with a smile on his face. He was thrilled that he got an endorsement from one of his favorite soda companies but he was wondering if he had gotten in over his head. Either way, training for the new season was about to start, so he was happy to be able to shift his focus to what really mattered for his career. <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1' id='CODE-WRAP'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>398 words</td></tr></table> APPROVED PS: I had that once... fell asleep like a brick half an hour later.

Whether on the pitch or off from it, he does some stuff people do not understand. And to be frankly, not even him understands himself sometimes. So his decision to sign a partnership with a particular ''company'' raised even more questions about his intentions and himself as a whole. Without further ado, here is the so called ''company'' he decided to a partnership with: MANCHESTER UNITED F.C. Yes you heard it right. That team from England who is currently playing in the Premier League and has yellow and red on their logo. And people will be like hol' up, is this the real life. How can MU even be considered as a ''company''? Well, to be fair this team is the brand for a long time. Every football fan, even a casual one knows or heard about this team loads of times so you could say this is something more than just a team. So it...kinda makes sense? Especially for Elmis whose whole image is based on heresy and devil. Not only he was being called bald devil back in his Latvia days, he wears a RED wig now. And I'm pretty much sure fans know the nickname of the team. Match made in hea....hell you know. Albeit they didn't come up with the partnership idea immediately. For couple of years both parts were tettering around this idea, but nothing very concrete. Only in second half of the last SSL season they decided to will be a good fit for each other. Now, let's talk wassup about this whole deal. Basically, you may already seen Elmis wearing headbands or armbands with the MU logo in it. Sometimes even a shirt in free time. So he promotes this team even further, into the SSL world. In return, Elmis gets free tickets to their games and also having a chance to play a couple of games for the team as a starter. De Gea about to be mad as hell I feel like. But hey, the huge SSL promo in EPL. Why not to show the whole world goalkeepers from our league can actually be competitive comparing to top European league GK's. Matter of fact, even better then them. I do hope we will see last season Elmis though. Because this season form isn't even going to be good enough for being the 5th string goalie for them. Side note, there are some rumors Elmis may sign another partnership with the NHL team named....of course, New Jersey Devils. Enough said. Anyways, Elmis and MU now are besties I guess. Good luck to Bald Devil in making SSL proud. APPROVED

Norrøna wanted to sponsor her! They'd reached out with a tentative offer - to include a sports line and have her go on a sponsored trip in the offseason to promote a new line of hiking equipment and gear. Her cat had gone to hide from all the noise, and she'd quickly called her agent back to say yes she was interested, absolutely she wanted to go on a sponsored trip. She was ready to shoot the sports line the next day, which made her agent laugh. They hadn't even designed the line yet. So Linnea waited impatiently as designs rolled in and deals were negotiated - with the trip, she wouldn't be paid as much, but her agent negotiated perks, and she annoyed absolutely every single player and staff on London with every minute detail as the season went on. She did earn a few friends out of it, and some staff and teammates went on hikes with her outside the city. She wanted to be prepared for a backpacking trip, although everything would be provided. It was nice to get outside of the city and see more of the countryside. On a particularly long break from matches, she got a group for a road trip (really a train trip) up to Scotland for a three day hike. It was gorgeous. When the season ended, both too soon and too fast, Linnea bid a brief adieu to England and travelled back to Norway for the brand deal. In Oslo, they briefed her on the journey - a train ride to Bergen, and then hikes around the mountains there. It wouldn't be a real trip of course, with the filming equipment and such, but it was going to be beautiful. The sports line photos wrapped quickly, easy in a studio, and the hikes seemed to end even faster. Although stretched out into a week, Linnea couldn't get enough of the fresh air and fjords. On the way back down, she was already asking her mothers if they could come out to Bergen instead of her going to them, to extend her time in the seven mountains. <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1' id='CODE-WRAP'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>389 words</td></tr></table> APPROVED
