Hyundai is ending its sponsorship of the Australian A-League after this season, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. The Korean carmaker has been the league's naming rights partner since its first season in 2005. It is reported to be paying A$6m ($3.9m/€3.6m) in total to Football Federation Australia - A$5m for the A-League and A$1m to sponsor national teams. The brand provided 80 cars per year to the FFA and clubs. Hyundai is the fourth sponsor to walk away from the FFA in the last year, after petrol station chain Caltex, bank NAB and supermarket chain Aldi.
