Everton signed a club-record multi-year deal to make the sports betting giants their main shirt sponsor earlier this month.

Coach Ronald Koeman's side will play at Tanzania's 60,000-capacity National Stadium in Dar-es-Salaam on Thursday 13 July, against the winner of the inaugural SportPesa Cup, which is a an eight-team tournament between clubs in Kenya and Tanzania.
