Selangor Football Club (SFC) continued to receive support from corporate companies when Hertz Malaysia was today announced as the Official Private Transport Partner after the signing of a cooperation agreement between the two parties, early last month.

The collaboration will also see the Hertz logo displayed as one of the logos on SFC's official website, as well as in some digital content on all SFC social media platforms.

For information, the Hertz franchisee in Malaysia is held exclusively by Sime Darby Motors and operates under the supervision of Sime Darby Rent A Car Sdn Bhd (SDRAC).

SDRAC, which has been in operation since 1982, is a pioneer in vehicle rental services in Malaysia that provides short and long-term vehicle leasing services for the public and private sectors. Today, SDRAC has more than 20 branches in cities and airports as well as 269 service centers nationwide.

According to Harun Mohd Joned, Managing Director, Sime Darby Rent A Car Sdn Bhd, "SDRAC, through Hertz Malaysia is very excited to work with a club that is historic and has a large fan base in Malaysia. We hope that this collaboration has a positive impact especially when the Red Giants perform on the field later."

"This is the first time we have collaborated with SFC. Previously, we always provided car rental services to several football teams in Malaysia. We hope that the Hertz brand will be closer to SFC supporters as well."

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Selangor FC, Dr. Johan Kamal Hamidon also expressed his contentment and thought that this cooperation would have a positive impact on both entities.

“SDRAC, Hertz's international franchisee in Malaysia has agreed to work with SFC this season. This cooperation also gives a signal to other local and international companies to also cooperate with local football clubs because our football industry is close enough to Malaysians,” explained Dr. Johan.

“SFC’s success for this season is not only to bring in new strategic partners but also to maintain relationships with existing strategic partners by providing sponsorship benefits in terms of commitment as a strategic partner, brand expansion among Red Giants supporters, as well as commercial asset development partnerships. Hertz Malaysia is the latest strategic partner for the Red Giants and we want to give them our best commitment so that this collaboration lasts.”

SFC would like to once again thank Hertz Malaysia and hope that this cooperation agreement can be an eye-opener for more companies in Malaysia, especially in Selangor to also become strategic partners of the Red Giants.

Demi kebanggaan.
