The V-League organisers have found a sponsor just days ahead of the start of the tournament.
Toyota Motor Vietnam (TMV) and the Vietnam Professional Football Company (VPF) on December 30 signed a one-year contract to sponsor the national premier league, which will begin on January 3 nationwide.
The tournament will be called Toyota V-League 1-2015 under the new sponsorship.
"With the support of Toyota Motor Vietnam, VPF and the organising board, we will try our best to contribute to the season with the spirit of fair play, high quality and competitiveness," VPF General Director Pham Ngoc Vien shared at a press briefing in Hanoi.
"Toyota has been working in Vietnam for nearly 20 years. We believe that as the main sponsor, Toyota will lend a helping hand to push the national football team to a higher level," disclosed TMV President Yoshihisa Maruta through an interpreter.
"We also hope that our cooperation with J. League, which aims to extend assistance by sending their experts to work with Vietnam's football organisation and management, will provide us with a better future. Local audiences will enjoy all matches, which will be fair and healthy," he shared. He also added that TMV will continue to discuss their plans for the succeeding years with VPF.
Toyota has backed different sports activities in Vietnam for years.
