Global Sports Sponsorship

Africa Cup of Nations
 

In poverty-stricken rural communities of Africa, football is the only sport enjoyed by people who otherwise have no leisurely activities. 
LG was the official sponsor of the 2006 Egypt Africa Cup of Nations.
The Africa Cup of Nations, organized by the Confederation of African Football, has been held every two years since 1957, and is the continent’s greatest championship game participated by different nations. This championship has prompted Africa to emerge as a new football power, shaking the two soccer powerhouses, Europe and South America. African players have amazed the world with their explosive speed, flexibility, and physical power.


In particular, participating in the 2006 Egypt Africa Cup of Nations championship, held five months prior to the Germany World Cup, were Togo, Ghana, Republic of Cote d'Ivoire, Angola and other countries, which are the same ones that advanced into the main rounds of the 2006 World Cup.

LG also bestows the Fair Play Player Award together with CAF to further enhance the spirit of sports.
