UCAN’s Global General Manager, Ally Zhao, explained: “Through our on-going and positive relationship with Qingdao Red Lions, it was an easy decision for us to expand UCAN’s partnership with the Adelaide United and Qingdao group. We are looking forward to the first game at Coopers Stadium and seeing the Reds wear our UCAN kit for the first time and are ecstatic to be partnering with this fantastic football club.”
Adelaide United’s Head of Marketing and Communications, Marius Zanin, added: “This is a significant moment for our football club. Not only has our commercial team, headed by Adam (Thomson), produced a record-breaking corporate deal, but the collaboration we, as a Club, have experienced with UCAN’s brand team has been brilliant. We could not be prouder of these fresh and bold designs and know they will resonate with our passionate fans.”
