List of teams named after a sponsor
{{Disputed-list|date=September 2010}}
This is a list of sports teams that are named after a sponsor. Sports teams sometimes sell their names to increase revenue for themselves although this is often Frowned Upon by some sports organisations such as [[UEFA]] who ban sponsors names to be used when addressing a team. If the original name box is blank that means the team from being formed has always had a sponsor name such as a factory works team.
