Nexen Tire Enters Another Season of the Premier League as the Official Partner of Manchester City FC

Nexen Tire has been sponsoring Manchester City FC since 2015, as a part of its aggressive sports marketing strategies. This is the second season that Nexen Tire joins the Premier League team as their Sleeve Partner, after it extended its multi-year partnership for three years and became the first ever Official Sleeve Partner of Manchester City FC and the Premier League in 2017.

As with last season, Nexen Tire logo will be emblazoned on the left sleeve of the Manchester City FC player's uniforms and will be exposed to the global audience throughout the season. As the Official Partner of Manchester City FC, Nexen Tire will continue utilizing the strategic partnership with Manchester City FC.

Manchester City FC had finished off the last season of the Premier League on top of the ladder, with a record breaking 100 points. All eyes are on the defending champions with the team's 2-0 win against Arsenal on August 12, its first match of the 2018/19 Premier League campaign.

"We are proud and excited to maintain our title of the Official Partner of Manchester City FC once again," said Travis Kang, CEO of Nexen Tire. He added, "Nexen Tire had accompanied Manchester City FC throughout the 2017/18 game season, with the team successively winning the 2017/18 Carabao Cup and 2017/18 Premier League. We look forward to yet another great winning season."

Nexen Tire has been executing aggressive sports marketing strategies in the European market and its sponsorship of Manchester City FC has been proven to be one of the most successful cases. As the first ever Official Sleeve Partner of Manchester City FC and the Premier League, Nexen Tire has pioneered this exciting asset within the Premier League, with a flow of brands starting to follow the trend since the last season.

Nexen Tire plans to continue utilizing its relationship with Manchester City FC throughout the game season to expand its global loyal fan-base by increasing touchpoints for customers to directly engage and experience the Nexen Tire brand. In September, Nexen Tire will host an event for Manchester City FC fans, offering various programs including a live screening of the Club's match in Seoul, South Korea, the home country of Nexen Tire.
