Chinese Football Association reveals new partnerships

The Chinese Football Association has unveiled carmaker Changan Ford and smartphone manufacturer Gionee as new commercial partners.

Both of the deals will run for four years, from 2015-16 to 2018-19.

Changan Ford has been signed up as a presenting partner of the China national men’s team. The company became a top-tier partner of the Chinese Super League in 2014 and the title sponsor of the CFA Cup earlier this year.

Gionee’s deal will cover all of China’s national football teams, including the women’s and youth teams.
