The Indian information technology group WiPro has become a digital partner of Chelsea FC (Premier League) in 2015-16, the club announced on 03/09/2015.

"We will work with WiPro to create digital and technology experiences for millions of fans that spans not only their in-stadium experience on game day but also their digital experience anytime and anywhere," said Chelsea.
