“This major sponsorship will become the longest running in the clubs history and we’re proud to be associated with a committed and rapidly rising international organisation.
“This partnership extension was negotiated and agreed to about three months ago, but we both decided to wait until the final home game of the season to provide our members and fans with the exciting news heading into the finals series.”
Huawei Australia Chairman, John Lord AM, said. “Huawei and the Canberra Raiders have built a solid and successful partnership over the past five years.
“Our consumer products are growing in popularity and the Raiders are playing an important role to push the Huawei brand out to more and more people.”
Huawei’s local sports sponsorship portfolio also includes A-League club Wellington Phoenix and AFL side Gold Coast Suns.
