Damir Dosumbetov:
We are very glad and proud that the National Football Team of Kyrgyzstan will, for the first time, take part in such an important, in the football world, tournament as the Asian Cup. We have decided to support our players by financing an image campaign launched in preparation of our team for, and their participation in, the Asian Cup. Great game to our players! And, of course, we’re rooting for our team to win! We believe in you!
Mederbek Sydykov:
We are very happy we’ve made one more step in this direction. Our partnership will yield results very soon and will provide great opportunities to all the parties. I’m sure, with such an immense support, we will make so many of our creative ideas a reality and will properly represent Kyrgyzstan at the Asian Cup 2019. We’d like to express our deepest gratitude to our partners for their active involvement in the implementation of this media campaign and for enabling us to tell the whole world about our wonderful country and about the team that has contributed immensely to the success story of the Kyrgyz football.
Aziz Khasanov:
It’s a great honor for Antares Studio to participate in such a big-scale event for our football team and for our country. The mission of this media campaign is to not just raise awareness among the population but increase the audience of active football fans too. If our football players feel the support of their home country, and the country is proud of their sportsmen, then our odds of winning will increase multi-fold! On our part, we will do our best to make sure this media campaign hits the target.
It is noteworthy that this agreement reflects the shared aspiration of all involved parties to properly represent Kyrgyzstan at the most high-profile tournament of the Asian continent – the AFC Asian Cup that will take place in four cities of the UAE in January 2019. The National Football Team of KR will participate for the first time in the football tournament among the national teams of the AFC member countries.
