Hankook Tyre to Sponsor Hyundai A-League

Football Federation Australia have announced a new partnership with Hankook Tyre Australia for the tyre supplier to sponsor the Hyundai A-League.

As part of the deal, bronchi Hankook Tyre Australia’s branding will be on static billboards, animated and active LED billboards and region- and sale-specific promotion.

With an aggregate attendance of more than 10 million spectators over eight seasons, the Hyundai A-League has established itself as a prominent and growing part of Australian sporting culture.

“Hankook has an increasing presence in Australian motoring and motorsport,” said Hankook Tyre Australia Managing Director Paul Park. “And away from the conventional motoring associations, we have seen the opportunity to partner with the Hyundai A-League as a symbiotic relationship and a perfect fit. The Hyundai A-League is a relatively new brand with an honest reputation, exhibits strong growth, it magnetises an expanding fan base and exhibits a family atmosphere – attributes shared by both organisations.

Mr Park also elaborated how the Hyundai A-League is the correct fit; “Naturally we are very pleased to partner with the Hyundai A-League, but Hankook is also extremely enthused to be part of a faction with assertive aspirations. David Gallop has openly described his goal of having football as the number one sporting code in Australia. That’s very fitting as our goal is for Hankook to be the number one brand in Australia.”

“FFA would like to welcome Hankook to the Football Family as a partner of the Hyundai A-League,” said FFA Chief Executive Officer David Gallop. “We are on a long term journey to make football the number one sport in Australia and the support of brands like Hankook Tyres helps us along that path.

“Hankook has a history of supporting sport in Australia and Football worldwide and with the Hyundai A-League going from strength to strength both in Australia and around the Asian region it is an exciting partnership.”

Mr Park added: “With the FIFA World CupTM in 2014, and Australia hosting the Asian Cup in 2015, this is an exciting time for the sport. Football is a code that Hankook Tyre is proud to be partnered with through our sponsorship of the Hyundai A-League.”
