Sao Paulo, 8th January 2020 - Midea, the world’s #1 consumer appliances producer and world’s #1 air treatment brand, will stamp the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista jersey in the 2020 season, above the number of players.
Midea's debut on the team's jersey will take place on January 15th, in confrontation with New York City FC, for the Florida Cup. The company's logo presence on the Paulista remains throughout the year in the Brazilian League and Copa de Liberators and Americas Cup. In addition to the space on the jersey in all the official matches, the sponsorship also involves the brand's exposure at the Corinthians Arena, during professional team training, backdrops for interviews and special actions with Corinthians fans.
“In Midea, we are all very excited to kick off this partnership. We have chosen Corinthians because in addition to being one of the biggest teams in Brazil, we believe that connecting with such a winning and long-standing team, also close to our Brazilian Midea office, reinforces our ongoing pursuit of high quality and performance in our products and translates our passion for what we do. Midea is a huge global company that is already part of many Brazilians life, however, Midea is very well known within the air treatment category although we have one of the world’s largest product portfolio in home appliance, too. Hence, this partnership will bring us even closer to the day to day with our consumer, raising our brand to a whole new level. We are confident that together we will be very successful in the 2020 season,” affirms Felipe Costa, CEO Midea Brazil.
