The Chinese Football Association (CFA)recently announced that the Division Two League, CL2，China’s third tier soccer league, is set to sign two partnership deals, with a Beijing sports company and KELME China respectively.

In addition, the company will also have broadcast and media rights to the league. As reported, it will take over RMB30 million for the Beijing company to package the above rights to CL2.

Additionally, KEMLE China has also signed a four-year deal with the CFA, which will see the brand become an official supplier of the league.
