CSL club banks shirt sponsor for 2016 season

Chinese Super League football club Yanbian Fude has agreed a season-long shirt sponsorship deal with investment company Zhongchou Shares.

As part of the agreement, the company’s branding will appear on the back of Yanbian’s playing jerseys for the 2016 CSL campaign. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

According to the Yutang Sports website, the partnership will eventually expand to incorporate co-operation in the fields of agricultural products, sports tourism and real estate.

Newly-promoted Yanbian began its 2016 CSL season with a 1-1 draw at Shanghai Shenhua on Saturday.
