TeleChoice have announced that they will extend their successful sponsorship of the Carlton Football Club for four years and will continue to be the club’s official ball sponsor.

TeleChoice, the number one Optus premium dealer in Australia, became the official ball sponsor of Carlton in 2007 and have renewed their two year commitment to become a premier partner for 2009- 2012. The sponsorship also includes advertising, hospitality, player involvement and events.

Ehab Abdou, TeleChoice CEO, says the company is excited to partner with Carlton again. “Carlton had an exciting season in 2008 and we are proud to be aligned with such a well-respected and successful club”.

“By continuing to be a premier partner of the Carlton Football Club, TeleChoice lives up to the slogan of the ‘People’s Choice’, by supporting initiatives that are relevant and of high interest to the people of Victoria and across Australia.

“We have exciting plans for the sponsorship, with major events and initiatives for fans and members alike, that will help them and Carlton build closer relationships with TeleChoice,” said Mr Abdou.

Carlton Football Club Chief Executive Officer, Greg Swann, says TeleChoice, like Carlton, is a going from strength to strength and looks forward to continuing the relationship.

“There is great synergy between TeleChoice and Carlton, as both organisations continue to develop and work for further success in very competitive fields. TeleChoice prides itself on being passionate, self-motivated and energetic and we have a similar expectation at Carlton,” said Mr Swann.
