Doha, 14 July 2016 - QNB, a leading financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, and Trabzonspor, one of Turkey’s most popular football clubs, have announced the signing of an agreement by which QNB has become the main sponsor of the important Turkish team.
The agreement, which was signed in the Raffles Istanbul Hotel by Trabzonspor club president Muharrem Usta and QNB Group Communications General Manager Yousef Darwish, grants the Bank access to jersey sponsorship for 3 years, as well as access to advertising rights, public relations cooperation, social media and digital rights.
QNB’s sponsorship of the Turkish football club comes because of its great successes since its creation in 1967, with a long list of accomplishments that include many championships, titles and trophies, as well as numerous participations in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.
