SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexen Tyre, a leading global tyre manufacturer, has announced a three-year partnership with Melbourne City FC in Australia's A-League, commencing with the 2017/18 season.
Through this partnership, Nexen Tyre's logo will appear on Melbourne City FC's away kit sleeve and on the front of its travel kit, in addition to the club's training kit, which has featured the Nexen Tyre logo since last April.
Melbourne City FC is the second club in the City Football Group to partner with Nexen Tyre, after its sister club Manchester City Football Club (Manchester City) of the English Premier League announced a partnership extension back in March. As the Official Sleeve Partner of Manchester City, Nexen Tyre has extended its partnership platform with the Group by also partnering with Melbourne City FC to increase its brand awareness within the Australian market.

"We're very excited to serve as the official partner of the Melbourne City FC for the upcoming seasons. This gives us the unique opportunity to reach out to the many football fans in the Oceania region, which is very significant for our business," said James Lim, Managing Director of the Nexen Tyre Sydney office. "At Nexen Tyre, we are continually striving to expand our brand globally, and sports marketing partnerships with leading organizations like Melbourne City FC are an important part of our efforts."
As the Official Partner of Melbourne City FC, Nexen Tyre plans to execute a variety of marketing activities using the Club crest, logo and player image rights. In addition, football fans from Oceania and around the world will be able to see the Nexen Tyre logo appear on the LED perimeter boards and jumbo screens within AAMI Park, the home of Melbourne City FC.
Nexen Tyre's partnership with Melbourne City FC is representative of the company's plans to further expand its business in the Oceania region, as well as accelerate the company's presence in the global market by increasing its brand exposure. Nexen Tyre's Sydney office will also leverage this partnership with Melbourne City FC to boost its local sales and marketing activities.
