Malaysia Airlines Strengthens Role as Main Sponsor of Football Association of Malaysia

 


KLIA, 30 May 2024 – Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) is pleased to announce the enhancement of its partnership with the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the national team, Harimau Malaya as the main sponsor for the next three years until December 2026.

This strategic move aligns with MAB’s commitment to nation building and sports excellence, with the aim to elevate local sports to the global stage. The partnership unites two national icons, Malaysia Airlines and FAM, with the shared goal of leveraging their expertise and capabilities to enhance the growth of the sports industry.

As the Official Main Partner and Official Airline Partner for the National Teams and FAM, Malaysia Airlines is dedicated to enhancing brand visibility, fostering customer loyalty through partnership activations, and supporting national sports. Additionally, Malaysia Airlines will provide ongoing support for grassroots football development, promoting local talent on the international stage, and nurturing national pride.

Both parties recently inked the partnership extension at a closed-door event in KLIA, cementing another term of close collaboration. Signing on behalf of MAB was the Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines, Dersenish Aresandiran, witnessed by Chief Executive Officer of Airlines, Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi; and from FAM was General Secretary, Datuk Noor Azman Hj Rahman, witnessed by President, Datuk Haji Hamidin Haji Mohd Amin.

Speaking at the event, Ahmad Luqman said, “As the national flag carrier, we take pride in maintaining our services to the national football squad and providing continuous support to FAM through our ongoing sponsorship, now in its sixth consecutive year. We are excited to extend this cooperation for another three years, as part of our strategic vision to elevate Malaysian sports to new heights. The airline is dedicated to elevating Malaysian football to the global platform, showcasing the nation's sporting talents while flying the flag high.”

Datuk Haji Hamidin expressed his gratitude to MAB for the support provided since 2019. “The collaboration between FAM and MAB not only reflects loyalty but also demonstrates MAB's dedication and commitment to the national football arena. It also delivers an important message to supporters of the national squad that FAM can not only provide added value to its sponsors but also have a positive impact on the national economic sector. I believe that with MAB as the main sponsor of FAM and the national football squad, we will achieve various successes together. Thank you again, MAB, and hopefully, this collaboration will drive both organisations towards excellence.”
