HA NOI (VNS) — Pham Phu Hoa, deputy general director of the Viet Nam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), has announced that his company was seeking new sponsors for the V-League in the 2015 season.

VPF, owner of the national football leagues, confirmed that Eximbank, the main sponsor who has worked with the V-League, the premier tournament, would not continue after the end of their contract this year.

Eximbank has been sponsoring the V-League for four years since 2010 with a VND30-billion (US$1.43-million) deal per year.

Hoa said the present VPF leadership was in discussions with some prospective partners, but nothing has been confirmed yet. He expected VPF to have co-sponsors next season.

VPF are also seeking sponsors for the V-League 2 and the National Cup. — VNS
