Chinese Super League (CSL) team Hangzhou Greentown FC has signed major sponsorship deals with three tech manufacturing giants.

The club, founded in 1998, launched the deals with Toshiba China, Toshiba Air-conditioning and Panasonic Jiele ahead of the 2016 CSL season, which begins next month.

Financial details of the deal have yet to be disclosed.

The club, which finished 11th in the highest tier of Chinese soccer last season, is financed by Song Weiping, co-founder and president of real estate group Greentown China.

The deal will see Toshiba continue as the team’s front-of-shirt sponsor.  

At the launch, current Hangzhou Greentown manager and former LA Galaxy defender Hong Myung-Bo introduced new overseas signing Tim Cahill to the media.
