Mobile phone operator Iraqna has announced a major sponsorship initiative in its agreement to become an associate sponsor of Iraq's national football teams. The company was recently awarded a two year license to provide mobile telecommunications services in Iraq and currently provides coverage to approximately 200,000 subscribers in Baghdad and the Al Unbar region.
As an associate sponsor, Iraqna will have exclusive sponsorship rights within the telecoms sector in Iraq and will be the official provider of telecoms services for the Iraq national football team. The deal is a two-year sponsorship and will end on 31 May 2006.
Hussein Saeed, president of the Iraqi Football Association, said: “Iraqi football is enjoying a tremendous revival at this time, but we have many challenges ahead to build on our success. This wonderful support from Iraqna is crucial to our ability to continue to develop all our national football teams for the future.”
“Iraqna is proud to support the Iraqi National Football Federation," said Allan Richardson, CEO of Iraqna, a subsidiary of Orascom Telecom Holdings Egypt "All of Iraqna wishes the utmost success to Iraq’s players and fans. I think it is incredible what the national team has achieved in spite of all the obstacles in their path and provides a great example of what is possible when everybody pulls together."
