Melbourne City Signs Nissan As First Ever Automotive Partner For A-League Club

Nissan and A-League side Melbourne City FC entered into a partnership that will see the carmaker become the official automotive partner of the club. The partnership is the first of its kind in the A-League and W-League, following Football Federation Australia's regulations allowing clubs to sign automotive partners for the upcoming '16-17 season. The deal will see the Nissan logo featured on the sleeve of the men's team's home and away jersey and the sleeve of the women's away jersey. The partnership will deliver a variety of benefits for Nissan in Australia, including strong brand presence at Melbourne City's home at AAMI Park on matchdays, complemented by unique fan engagement opportunities throughout the season. To mark the start of the new partnership, the #23 Nissan NISMO Altima Supercar, driven by Nissan Motorsport's Michael Caruso, will bear Melbourne City's branding at the Townsville 400 round of the V8 Supercars Championship (Melbourne City FC).
