Official: Glo Ends Sponsorship Of Nigerian Premier League by playboy99(m): 7:02pm On Feb 11, 2016 |
OFFICIAL: GLO ENDS
SPONSORSHIP OF
NIGERIAN PREMIER
LEAGUE
Globacom has been in the
forefront of sport
sponsorship since it
commenced operations in
2003 committing resources to
also support the Nigerian
national teams
The partnership agreement
between next generation
network, Globacom, and the
League Management
Company, in which the
telecommunication outfit
sponsored the Glo Premier
League for over a decade, has
officially ended.
The last sponsorship
agreement which started in
the 2012/2013 league season
ended after the completion of
the 2016 Super Four football
tournament which was held
in both Kaduna and Uyo.
Globacom has been in the
forefront of sport
sponsorship in Nigeria since it
commenced operations in
2003. Over this period, the
company demonstrated its
commitment to the
development of Nigerian
football by committing
enormous resources to
support the Nigerian national
teams, the Nigerian Premier
League and other football
initiatives.
During the period, the
telecoms firm spent over N8
billion to promote the
Nigerian Premier League apart
from the huge sums
committed to sponsorship of
the national teams and other
sports sponsorships in the
last 12 years.
The company has also been
sponsoring the Nigerian
Football Supporters Club since
2003, thereby ensuring that
the club is always at the
venues of tournaments
anywhere in the world to
cheer the league clubs and the
national teams to victory.
With the coming of the
League Management Company
in 2012, Globacom renewed
its sponsorship of the league
worth billions of naira and
supported the new
management who went on to
restructure the league.
Since then, the Glo Premier
League has been on the
ascendancy with many of the
league players participating
actively in national team
assignments.
This is in addition to the
smooth organization of
league matches and
improvement in officiating
which led to the rating of the
league among the top three in
Africa, thus justifying the
vision Globacom declared in
2012 when the last
agreement was signed:
“Our vision is to see a
consistent improvement in the
quality of football played in
the league; we also look
forward to more Nigerians
trooping to the various stadia
across the country to watch
and support their clubs in a
safe and conducive
atmosphere with world-class
facilities.”
The League Management
Company is expected to
unfold a new multi-
sponsorship arrangement
which will see different
companies sponsoring the
league through different
platforms.
It will be recalled that the
English Premier League and its
title sponsor, Barclays, recently
announced the end of their
sponsorship agreement after
fifteen years. The Premier
League will from 2016/2017
season run without a title
sponsor. |
