China in global football
Zdroj: Economic Daily, Vladimir TravnicekThe business company Wanda Group of the richest Chinese Wang Tyang-lin is the first sponsor under the era of the new football boss.
A business company from China has become one of the main sponsors of FIFA for the first time in history. The business company Wanda Group owned by the richest Chinese Wang Tyang-lin will be among top partners of the world football until 2023. (...)
One of the economically strongest organisations ended up in red for the first time since 2002. "FIFA has damaged its reputation very much for the last two years. It opened the door for new companies that can be linked with world football," a sports analyst and football intermediary Jozef Tokos said for the Economic Daily. The new chief Gianni Infantino who successfully worked as a secretary general of UEFA for years, should represent a new era with new sponsors and different orientation. "FIFA will act in a transparent way and avoid any mistakes," Tokos states.
