We have made a firm commitment to participate in the development of football in China and to get closer than ever to our Chinese followers.”
“As we look forward to our pre-season tour, which will take us to Beijing and Shenzhen, we are constantly nurturing new commercial, marketing and digital relationships, as well as growing ever closer to our new investors. Zhong An is the perfect trusted partner for us and we are working extremely well together to understand the scale of the opportunity and how to tackle it most effectively.”
Zhong An holdings is a Shenzhen-based company which is a “founder partner of a new sports, marketing and media commercial platform” in China.
