The Export-Import Bank of Vietnam (Eximbank) will sponsor the national V-League for the next three years.

The Vietnam Football Federation announced the prospective agreement on Dec. 14.

Earlier this week, the VFF signed a 20-year deal to provide V-League TV rights to cable TV provider Audio Visual Global (AVG).

AVG, which is licensed to operate a satellite and digital television service, plans to officially launch its 70-channel TV package soon.

The price for the service has yet to be announced.

The agreement will have the VFF and its sponsors take 50 percent of the fees and the participating teams the remainder - 35 percent to the home team and 15 percent to the visitors.

The national football championship has been a money-spinner for the VFF since 2004 when Vietnam Television paid 1,590 USD to telecast a V-League match./.
