United connect with Airtel



Airtel customers in Seychelles will soon get exclusive access to rich and exclusive Manchester United content on their mobile phones. This follows the signing of a five-year partnership between Bharti Airtel and United.

Bharti Airtel, is Asia's leading telecom services provider and operates in India, Sri Lanka and the Seychelles.

This partnership will give Airtel customers across the Seychelles, India and Sri Lanka the opportunities to participate in training sessions with Manchester United Soccer Schools coaches, to attend matches at Old Trafford and travel into Europe with United to UEFA Champions League games.

The announcement was made at Old Trafford earlier this week by Sanjay Kapoor, Deputy CEO, Bharti Airtel in the presence of United's David Gill (CEO), Richard Arnold (Director of Commercial), Sir Alex Ferguson (Manager) and players Darren Fletcher, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez.

With the English Premiere League and the UEFA Champions League becoming more popular amongst the young population of Seychelles, this partnership will ensure Manchester United popularity locally.
