What's Hot at Zupotsu: Sports Marketing Opportunities for June 2025

The sports world isn't slowing down this summer—and neither are the opportunities to make your brand part of the action. From elite golf tournaments to football fandom that crosses continents, to international chess showdowns, now's the time to move. 

Here's a look at three key plays—and how Zupotsu can help you turn them into wins. 

1. Indian Championship Golf: European Tour's Second Stop in India 

The DP World India Championship at the Delhi Golf Club this October marks a significant milestone as the second European tour event in India this year following the Indian Open. This prestigious tournament is drawing attention from golf enthusiasts and sponsors alike, creating a unique platform for brands looking to connect with an affluent and engaged audience. 

Zupotsu offers brands the chance to be part of this exclusive golfing experience through customized sponsorship packages, and branded content that resonates with the golf community. Think smart integrations into tournament coverage, player partnerships, and exclusive event activations. 

Why Invest

2. La Liga: Spain's Football Phenomenon Captivates Indian Audience 

La Liga's substantial following in India represents one of the most compelling opportunities in sports marketing today. With passionate fans across the subcontinent tuning in to watch Spanish football's elite competition, brands have a prime opportunity to connect with audiences who demonstrate remarkable loyalty and engagement with the league. 

The Spanish league's popularity crosses borders, making it an excellent vehicle for brands targeting both domestic Indian consumers and international audiences. La Liga's strategic focus on the Indian market has only strengthened its position as a premier sports property in the region.

• Cross-Border Visibility: Investments in La Liga marketing typically yield exposure across multiple countries as matches attract global viewership. 

3. India vs USA Chess: The Ultimate Strategic Showdown

The upcoming India vs. USA chess championship in Arlington, Texas later this year promises to be a landmark event in competitive chess. Headlined by World Champion Gukesh Dommaraju facing GM Hikaru Nakamura, this high-profile match is sure to draw eyeballs from all over the world.  

Rather than just another tournament, this event represents a unique marketing opportunity as chess continues its transformation into a mainstream spectator sport with growing commercial appeal.
