Hangzhou Greentown signs sponsorship deals ahead of new CSL season

Japanese conglomerate Toshiba has extended its sponsorship deal with Hangzhou Greentown, while the Chinese Super League football club has also entered into a partnership with Japanese electronics company Panasonic.

Toshiba has been Greentown’s main sponsor since 2014 and renews ahead of the start of the 2016 CSL season later this week. Terms of the club’s agreements with Toshiba and Panasonic were not disclosed, though the former's branding will appear on the front of the team’s playing jerseys.

Greentown, which finished 11th last season, begins its 2016 CSL campaign with a home game against Changchun Yatai on Saturday.
