The Vietnam Swans are thrilled to confirm that the Australia Network will be the Official Media Sponsor for the Vietnam Swans’ 2011 AFL Grand Final Parties in Hanoi and Saigon.

The Australia Network is the exclusive broadcaster of the AFL across Asia – including the all important AFL Grand Final!

In a statement released by the Australia Network today, it wrote that it was “delighted to get behind the Vietnam Swans’ events in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.”

Australia Network’s Head of Marketing, Pam Murray added that ‘We know that the Australia Network has a fantastic, even fanatical, following of AFL supporters in Vietnam and in a small way we would like to be involved in the excitement of the Vietnam Swans’ Grand Final Day”.

Australia Network will provide AFL merchandise and give aways as well as promoting the events on its website, email newsletters, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Vietnam Swans’ National President, Phil Johns, sincerely thanked the Australia Network for its sponsorship of the Vietnam Swans Grand Final Parties.

“As the exclusive broadcaster of the AFL in Asia, to have Australia Network officially associated with the Vietnam Swans’ Grand Final events for the first time is a very significant development in the continuing success story of footy in Asia, as well as the Swannies”, said Johns.

“Where will footy in Asia be in five years’ time? Or 10 years? With this strategic (albeit a one off) sponsorship, you can’t help but get the feeling that it’s just become a little bit more exciting!

“Thank you very much again to the Australia Network for its sponsorship of the Vietnam Swans’ 2011 AFL Grand Final Parties in Hanoi and Saigon.”
