Tottenham Hotspur Extends Shirt Sponsorship With AIA to 2022
May 26, 2017
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed an extension with kit sponsor and insurance group AIA until 2022.
The Premier League club announced the news while in Hong Kong, where AIA has its global headquarters.
Tottenham began their relationship with AIA in 2013, and the original deal was believed to be worth around £16m a year to the new club.
Reports suggest the new extension has brought an increase on that figure.
Tottenham, who finished second in this year’s Premier League campaign, are currently on a post-season tour of Asia and this announcement further signifies their intent to grow the club’s fanbase in the region.
Their cause has been helped by the form of South Korean forward Heung-min Son, who scored 21 goals in all competitions to become the most prolific player from his country in European football history.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: “This new long-term agreement demonstrates the strength of our relationship with AIA and underlines just how much we both value this partnership.”
In response, AIA group chief executive Ng Keng Hooi said: “I am delighted we are extending our partnership at such an exciting time in AIA’s history as we continue to grow, guided by our vision to be the pre-eminent life insurer in the world.”
The new deal is expected to include visits of Spurs coaches to AIA foundations in the Asian region.
