An amateur Greek soccer team in the same state as most of its bankrupt nation — strapped for cash — has redefined being “hard up” for money. The team’s new financial sponsor? Not one, but two local brothels.

In return for wearing pink jerseys with “Villa Erotica” and “Soula’s House of History” printed on them, the team enjoys perks such as “special time” at the brothels after games if they win. Plus they get to keep playing, of course.

Prositution is legal in Greece, but the community’s feathers are still ruffled, reports the New York Daily News. Sadly for the team’s collective mojo, they’ve lost four games in a row.
