The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has officially signed a three-year sponsorship worth about S$1 million with Epson.

FAS president Zainudin Nordin was delighted to welcome Epson’s involvement in the sport, and said that such a move would only benefit the development of football within Singapore in a press conference at the Jalan Besar Stadium for the unveiling for the partnership.

“Today marks the day where we celebrate the partnership of two parties with a shared vision, that is to ensure the commitment to excellence and innovation. I am thrilled to welcome them [Epson] on board as an important partner in our pursuit to achieve football excellence in Singapore,” Zainudin said on Wednesday.

In addition to monetary resources, Zainudin also mentioned how Epson’s products will be provided for the FAS and that these equipment will revolutionise the football scene in Singapore, especially with the interactive projectors as coaches can use it to map out tactical strategies.

“Under the three-year sponsorship agreement, Epson will provide FAS with the latest office equipments to aid the development of local football in many areas, which include but are not limited to new E-learning boards in the form of interactive projectors and stadium projectors,” he added.

“I am pleased that coaches, players, as well as fans will benefit from this partnership. At FAS, we aim to provide the best environment possible to develop our young talents and this partnership with Epson will help us do just that.”

Epson Singapore managing director Koichi Endo shared that he was excited about Epson being a partner with FAS, as it may help them grow more renown as a brand and achieve their primary target of aiding youth football development.

“Today I am very proud to present Epson as we start this relationship with FAS,” he said.
 
“Epson has been closely involved in many sports sponsorship, as a way to improvement our branding, and to reach out to people through the excitement they (sports) bring.

“Therefore we are deeply honoured and grateful for this opportunity to assist in funding and applying our innovations to support the FAS in cultivating football excellence and nurturing Singapore’s next generation of footballers.”

Epson Singapore general manager Tan May Lin revealed that the sponsorship deal took only six months to be conceived and finalised due to the desire of both parties to further develop football at the youth level in Singapore.

“It was a meeting of minds, both Epson and FAS agree we have the same direction in terms of where we want to go, in terms of youth development,” she said.
