Zurich International Life Limited (Zurich), a leading life insurer company in the Middle East, is now Mumbai City FC’s Official Insurance Partner in India and the UAE, after an announcement from the club on their official website.
The new sponsorship deal will see the Zurich logo on the Mumbai City FC first team shirts throughout the 2020/21 season as the Islanders continue their hunt for the ISL trophy in Goa. The matchday experience at the Bambolim Stadium, the training facility at the Nagoa Village Panchayat Football Ground, and the Club social media channels will also have Zurich’s brand integrated into it.
Speaking about the deal, Walter Jopp, CEO of Zurich in the Middle East, said “At Zurich, we are passionate about nurturing young talent and encouraging a healthy lifestyle, as part of our commitment to empowering our customers to be ready for life. Nothing brings communities together like sports, and the Indian community is one that is particularly close to our hearts, which is why we are very pleased to be sponsoring Mumbai City FC. We look forward to following the team closely in the season ahead.”
Bimal Parekh, co-owner of Mumbai City FC, also expressed his happiness at the beginning of the new partnership.
“We are delighted that Zurich International Life will be extending their support to Mumbai City FC as the Club’s Insurance Partner. Zurich continuously show their passion and commitment to sport and we look forward to having their support towards football and Mumbai City in this unique season ahead of us,” he said.
