Brazilian telecommunications company TIM has further strengthened its considerable presence in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A football league by signing one-year sponsorship agreements with Coritiba and Atletico Paranaense.
For the duration of the 2015 season TIM’s branding will feature on the inside of the player numbers on the back of each team’s match jerseys. TIM previously sponsored Coritiba and Atletico Paranaense back in 2001.
Other top flight teams sponsored by the Brazilian subsidiary of Telecom Italia are Atlético Mineiro, Corinthians, Flamengo, Gremio, Internacional, Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama and champion Cruzeiro.
Meanwhile, Coritiba has secured a further commercial boost by agreeing a one-year shirt sponsorship deal with RDP Petroleo. The oil company takes the branding space on the back of Coritiba’s playing shirts, below the numbers.
