Deal worth S$1.8m covers all national teams, including age-group and women’s teams

SINGAPORE — Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia has signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the Football Association of Singapore (FAS).

 

The sponsorship, worth S$1.8 million, will include flights
for the under-21, under-23 and senior national teams, as well as the
National Football Academy’s age-group teams and women’s teams.

The partnership with FAS is set to provide the necessary
support to the association to gamer further success and raise
footballing standards for all levels. The Singapore national football
team is the recent victors of the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki
Cup campaign.

 

AirAsia will also offer “attractive travel packages” for football fans travelling to away matches, it said in a release.

 

“Sports sponsorship is part of our ongoing, commitment to nurture young talents
and provide a platform for them to excel globally, and this sponsorship
programme with the Football Association of Singapore is a perfect
opportunity for us to demonstrate that dedication,” said AirAsia Group
CEO Tony Fernandes.

 

“It is not impossible to be the best in the world. With proper support and hard work, we could create our own football heroes and stars.”

 

AirAsia has a track record of sports sponsorship, having backed the English Premiership football team Queens Park Rangers, Formula 1 outfit Lotus, the ASEAN Basketball League and
MotoGP. FAS President Zainudin Nordin said he is “absolutely
thrilled to have concluded an agreement with an organisation of
AirAsia’s calibre and reputation”.

 

“We are really thankful to Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and AirAsia for their staunch support for football
and we are looking forward to working closely with them to further
promote the sport in the coming years,” he said.

I don't see why should they - AirAsia's an Indonesian-based airline with a Malaysian branch.

FAM is a joke. Why would they want to waste money on that organisation?
