Report: Budweiser-FA Deal Imminent
The FA will announce Budweiser as the new sponsors of the FA Cup after Saturday's final but only following a bitter beer war that could cost the organisation as much as £8m.
The Football Association, also known as FA, looks to have secured a major beer sponsor, but will come at the cost of another? The Daily Mail reports that American brewer, Budweiser, will as much as £8m for the honor.
"The decision to bring in the American drinks giants to replace E.on as backers has incensed long-term partners Carlsberg.

The FA Cup is currently sponsored by English energy company, E.ON. Read more from The Daily Mail.
