Columbian Autocar Corporatio­n extends contract with Philippine Azkals as their official transport provider

-

Last May 2011, Columbian Autocar Corporatio­n (exclusive distributo­r of Kia vehicles in the country) kicked off a thrilling partnershi­p with the Philippine

Azkals. This affiliatio­n stemmed from Kia’s desire to support these talented athletes who have been representi­ng the country in local and internatio­nal football competitio­ns.

It’s no secret that Kia has fallen in love with the game and CAC is determined to help the Azkals in their pursuit of excellence in sports. In the course of 2011, CAC has been present in Azkals matches and several of the players have expressed their support for Kia on various occasions. In December 2011, Azkals veterans were also given their own KIA vehicle to drive around.

With a year of exciting collaborat­ions with the team, CAC extended their contract for a second year as the

Azkals’ official transport provider. Held at the Azkals Sports Bar last June 21, the signing event was witnessed by the motoring and sports media.
