Viber will become the Official Messaging and Calling App Partner of the Golden State Warriors after parent company Rakuten announced a multi-year partnership for its logo to appear on Warriors jerseys beginning this season.
The deal comes after Viber became the official communication channel of FC Barcelona, with the club launching a Viber Public Account after Rakuten’s partnership began in July.
The Warriors partnering with Tokyo-based e-commerce company Rakuten is fitting as they gained worldwide attention for winning the NBA championship in two of the past three seasons and featuring superstars in Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, who has an interest in messaging apps.
