Chinese Super League club banks new shirt sponsor

Chinese Super League football club Shandong Luneng Taishan has entered into a sponsorship deal with global consumer finance provider Home Credit Group.

The agreement will run for three seasons, from 2016 through to 2018.

Under the deal, Home Credit Group branding will appear on the lower sleeves of Shandong Luneng’s playing jerseys. The club will reportedly be the first CSL team to employ such branding placement.

The company will also work with the club to support the ongoing development of football in China.

Shandong Luneng will play Jiangsu Sainty tomorrow (Saturday) in its first game of the 2016 Chinese Super League season.
