An Italian football team has scored a controversial winner - by signing a sponsorship deal with an escort agency.
Trentino 1921 have received 10,000 euros (about £7,000) in the agreement which sees the name of the escort agency, Casa Bianca or White House, posted on the club's official website.
By clicking on to the logo - a white rose - surfers are taken to the Casa Bianca website, which warns it contains material of a sexual nature and users must be more than 18 years old.
The agency is based over the Austrian border in Innsbruck and describes itself as the "home of pleasure", adding that Casa Bianca is a "sensuous place to get everything you want".
On offer is a wide selection of escorts and by clicking on their name a description of each one is given, as well as a photo gallery.
One offer is Lea, a long haired 32-year-old brunette described as an " exciting girl from Austria" who is seen topless, while another is 24-year-old Elisabeth, who is said to have "wonderful eyes, wonderful body".
According to the website - which by mid morning yesterday had crashed due to overuse - the girls charge 180 euros (£130) an hour - and all major credit cards are accepted.
There is also a cashpoint within the building for customers' convenience.
However, the fourth division club's sponsorship deal has angered local councillors, especially the female councillor in charge of sport, Iva Berasi.
She stormed: "I find this absolutely amazing that the club should go into such a deal with an escort agency.
"This business, if one can call it a business, is making money by exploiting women's bodies and the club are receiving this money.
"If I am offended I can imagine that the women of the town must also feel as angry and as offended as I do. I hope that Trentino reconsider this agreement and remind them that they also receive council funds as well."
