Ltd. is the newest sponsor of Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv for the 2015-16 season, and will provide the club with one million NIS. The company&#8217;s management made the decision to support Maccabi in light of the fact that their slogan fits Maccabi like a glove: &#8220;Make it Possible.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr;\"> \t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr;\"> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Huawei is the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world, and is a global leader of ICT solutions. As part of the sponsorship agreement, the company&#8217;s logo will appear on the shorts of the players. In addition, the players will receive smart phones and smart watches from Huawei for their private use. Huawei provides sponsorships to many sports teams around the world, including football clubs Milan, Arsenal, Ajax Amsterdam, Atletico Madrid, and more.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr;\"> \t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: center;\"> \t<\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr;\"> \t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr;\"> \t<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Kobi Kalif, CEO of Alpha Telecom, the official importer for Huawei in Israel, said: &#8220;The more time passes, the Chinese technology giant Huawei recognizes the enormous potential of the Israeli market. Huawei sees Israel and Israelis as global leaders in the adoption of new technologies and a significant strategic destination for investment. Last year, Huawei management made the strategic decision to focus primarily on leading premier devices, which will compete with the flagship devices of Apple and Samsung, and so far is doing so with great success. In the first half of 2015, Huawei has sold approximately 50 million devices, which translates to a 25% increase in sales on an annual basis compared with last year. Huawei&#8217;s sponsorship of Maccabi will provide them with exposure to a large, new target audience which appreciates quality and competition.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr;\"> \t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr;\"> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Eli Drikes, General Manager of Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv: &#8220;We are very happy to have Huawei join the Maccabi family. This is a huge Chinese brand whose penetration into Israel is impressive and very successful. We are proud to break boundaries , and cooperation with the third largest manufacturer of mobile telephones is very important for us and is definitely a strategic goal.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Chinese company Huawei Technologies Co.
