Cadbury's chocolates category manager of Mondelez International, Nikhil Nicholas said: “The extension of partnership is set to extend Cadbury's reach to loyal football fans to deliver a unique experience as the brand shares the cheer and fun of the Premier League matches with its consumers.

The Premier League partnership that was first announced in the UK last year, builds on Cadbury's history of iconic sports partnerships including its sponsorship of the London Olympics in 2012. 

Nicholas said the long-term partnership provided another platform for the brand to bring moments of joy to even more people across the nation, which is what Mondelez International wants to consistently do.
