Companies begin to pull out of football sponsorship

Kolporter, one of the leading press distributors announced that it is withdrawing from its sponsorship program with Korona Kielce after the club's former coach admitted to having bought matches for the club. Another significant sponsor, TP SA, whose Orange brand is the title sponsor of the extraklasa league is considering a similar move. "We are seriously looking into the sense of further sponsoring of extraklasa. The battle against corruption was lost. This is not accepted by the fans, football players or sponsors," said the company's spokesperson Wojciech Kabczyński. Other sponsors who will reconsider their sponsorship contacts are Carlsberg Polska and JW Construction. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) A.K.
