Colombian Football Federation scores Allianz backing

The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) has agreed a new sponsorship deal with Allianz.

The Colombian arm of the German insurance giant will become the official insurer of the FCF’s representative teams in a contract that will run until 2014.

The agreement has been struck with the senior men’s national team appearing to be on course for its first appearance at a Fifa World Cup finals since 1998.

Colombia defeated Peru 2-0 on Tuesday to strengthen its hold on second place in the South American qualification competition.
