The one-year deal was signed between representatives of LP Bank and FPT Telecom which is authorised by the Việt Nam Professional Football Company (VPF) for commercial exploitation rights.

The signing ceremony is the first step of cooperation between LPBank, VPF and FPT Telecom with the FPT Play brand, towards the development of national football.

"Becoming the main sponsor of the LPBank V.League 1 is an evidence for our positive motto 'Attach social responsibility in business', said Hoàng Văn Phúc, LPBank deputy general director.
