The sponsorship will give Chinese fans opportunities to interact with Portuguese football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Andre Gomes and be able to watch the World Cup games live.
Portugal, champions of Euro 2016, is expected to become a focus of attention at the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Wahaha aims to use the sponsorship to attract a younger audience to its customer base, and speed up its international expansion.
This is not the first time for Wahaha to embrace sports marketing. The Chinese brand once supported Manchester United, China MTB Open and the 13th National Student Sports Games of China.
