State bank to sponsor Ligina<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Soccer Association of Indonesia (PSSI) will
\nsign a sponsorship deal with state Bank Mandiri next week to
\nsupport the sixth Indonesian Soccer League (Ligina), a PSSI
\nofficial said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Marketing and promotion chief Dimas Wahab said on Friday that
\nBank Mandiri president Robby Djohan gave his commitment for the
\nbank's sponsorship of the ongoing Ligina in a meeting with PSSI
\nchairman Agum Gumelar on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
He would not give the date of the signing and said more
\ndetails would be released once the deal was formal.<\/p>\n
\"We will issue the new name and new logo for the league after
\nwe sign the contract next week, when we also announce the value
\nof the deal. It's not easy to find sponsors for the league
\nbecause we can hardly sell our soccer matches,\" he said.<\/p>\n
It was earlier reported that the deal was worth Rp 10 billion
\n(US$1.38 million) for one season. The banks merged into Bank
\nMandiri were Bank Bumi Daya, Bank Dagang Negara, Bank Ekspor
\nImpor Indonesia and Bank Pembangunan Indonesia (Bapindo).<\/p>\n
Dimas also said PSSI would issue an agreement with soccer
\nclubs on the use of the Bank Mandiri logo.<\/p>\n
\"Players from all the clubs are obliged to wear clothes
\nbearing the bank's logo. PSSI will pay the clubs for this. The
\nlogo will be small so the clubs can include their own sponsors'
\nlogos on their players' apparel,\" he said.<\/p>\n
\"PSSI will also pay clubs which display the sponsor's
\nbillboard. All cooperation will be purely businesslike. We will
\nappoint a consultant to decide a value which benefits all sides
\n-- PSSI, the clubs and Bank Mandiri,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Dimas said PSSI would also include a special clause in its
\nlegal agreement, stating the rights and responsibilities of the
\nthree parties. \"This clause will protect the rights and the
\nresponsibilities of the dealers, so the agreement could benefit
\nall,\" he said.(ivy)<\/p>",
