Dutch FA signed with ING Group

The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) has arranged a deal with ING Group to replace Nationale-Nederlanden as sponsor for the national club.

The twenty years sponsorship from Nationale-Nederlanden has come to a close, and the ING logo will now be displayed on all Dutch training equipment beginning in 2010. The long-term agreement is to last eight years, until the World Cup 2018.

ING, named ninth-largest company worldwide by Forbes in 2008, has been involved in football as a sub-sponsor since 1996. The company is now making moves to increase their activity in Dutch football.
