Figueirense extends with shirt sponsor for Serie A return

Leadership company Liderança Serviços has agreed a two-year extension to its sponsorship deal with Brazilian football team Figueirense after the club gained promotion back to the country's top division, Serie A.

The extended deal will ensure that Liderança Serviços branding will continue to appear on the shoulders of players’ shirts for the duration of the 2014 and 2015 campaigns.

The company opted to extend its one-year sponsorship deal, which covered 2013, after Figueirense finished fourth in Serie B and won promotion to the top flight as a result.

Figueirense said that it also expects to announce a number of other sponsorship deals in the coming weeks.
