“Bonza, who is owned by 777 Partners, a strategic shareholder of Melbourne Victory, have been extremely supportive in allowing the club to maximise this new opportunity with Turkish Airlines, and will remain a major partner of the club.
“It is a real coup for our members and fans, to be able to align with both a premium international and a growing domestic airline partner.
“We also thank MATE who have been our Liberty A-League front-of-shirt partner for the past three seasons and are excited about having them remain part of the Victory family.”
Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat added: “It is a truly fitting partnership right now as we celebrate our inaugural entry into the vibrant city of Melbourne.
