AUCKLAND – New Zealand’s World Cup campaign has been cleared for take-off with the announcement of a new sponsor, a returning captain and confirmation of the All Whites’ Oceania qualifying
opponents.
Thai Airways International will ensure New Zealand’s ‘Road to South Africa’ and the 2010 FIFA World Cup is travelled in style after being unveiled as the All Whites’ official sponsor on Monday.
The award-winning airline has signed a three-year deal with New Zealand Football for naming rights to the All Whites, Olympic (U-23 men), Young All Whites (U-20) and Youth All Whites (U-17).
Blackburn Rovers defender Ryan Nelsen was also reinstalled as captain of the Thai Airways All Whites at Monday’s media conference following Danny Hay’s recent international retirement.
