Huawei scores Wellington Phoenix deal

A-League football team Wellington Phoenix has reached a three-year deal with Huawei to make the Chinese telecommunications company its principal partner.

The agreement means Huawei takes the front-of-shirt branding spot on the front of the Wellington Phoenix home and away playing strips.

Wellington finished 10th in the A-League last season and starts the 2013-14 campaign by hosting Brisbane Roar at the Westpac Stadium on October 13.
