CHANDIGARH : AirAsia India is happy to announce its
association with Northeast United Football Club, one of the most
exciting teams in Indian Super League. As an enthusiastic supporter of
sports, AirAsia India is one of the sponsors for Northeast United
Football Club in the upcoming ISL matches in 2015.
AirAsia has a tradition of promoting sports and this association
signifies the brand’s testament towards appreciating sporting talent.
The Northeast region of India has traditionally been the hotbed for
football in the country. Supported by well acclaimed celebrity John
Abraham, the Northeast United Football Club is known for its
inclusiveness, emerging young talent & passion. The association also
accentuates AirAsia’s effort to recognize the strengths and potential
of sportsmen and provide encouragement to the players.
Commenting on the association, Mittu Chandilya, CEO & MD, AirAsia
India said, “We are extremely interested in the development of North
East. The initial signs that we have received in the market have been
very encouraging. Our association with football connects us back to
AirAsia’s association with Queens Park Rangers and our love for the
sport. John Abraham has been a great personal friend and we are very
happy to come together with him this way and support his energetic team.
We believe that anything that goes to the grass root level in enabling
local development in a region like North East is something we should
stand for. Sports is an important thing that AirAsia has constantly been
supporting. I am extremely happy about associating with NEUFC as we
believe that coming together with a true partner who understands our
business gives us a platform to do wonders. Let’s football!”
"Sport and travel both have a unique power to reach people and bring
them together,” said John Abraham, Indian actor/producer, and owner of
North East United Football Club. "We are delighted that AirAsia will be
supporting us this season and I look forward to further strengthening
our relationship in the coming years. My good friend Mittu and I will be
watching the games together in Guwahati. We think very similarly about
the development of football and passion we have for the North East
sector. I am thrilled about working with his dynamic team and a brand
like AirAsia to do some great things with NEUFC."
