Nongshim, Korea Foods and AFC Wimbledon have announced the continuation of their sponsorship agreement for the 2013/14 season for the Nongshim Stand at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

The agreement which started last January has been greatly received by the AFC Wimbledon fans and the local Korean community.

Dan Suh, Managing Director at Korea Foods said “AFC Wimbledon is a fantastic club to be working with.  We have represented Nongshim for many years within the UK market and we are pleased that they could see the benefit that this sponsorship brings to their brand not only in the local community, but also through the TV coverage a club like AFC Wimbledon generates.

“Korea Foods are a family business and AFC Wimbledon is what we believe to be the epitome of a family club. We have had great support from the AFC fans in the previous six months since the initial deal was agreed, and we hope to further develop that relationship over the coming season.”

Charlie Kim, Team Manager of International Sales at Nongshim, added, “We saw great results from our sponsorship of the Nongshim Stand.  AFC Wimbledon is in the heart of the Korean community in London and we hope we can encourage more AFC Wimbledon fans to try some of our Korean food.”

Ivor Heller, Commercial Director at AFC Wimbledon said “I’m delighted that Nongshim have renewed their sponsorship for this season.  The partnership has grown significantly since the deal was agreed in January.

“We are committed to working closely with Nongshim and Korea Foods in order to see the progression of the relationship.  I am looking forward to the AFC Wimbledon Korea day this season along with the various tasting sessions that will be taking place once again.”

Toni Duggan, 'Next 20' Ambassador
"It really helped me to see that other professional sports people were acknowledging their sexuality. I read about John Amaechi, Gareth Thomas and Tom Daley. They weren't footballers but the fact that they went public gave me the feeling that I was not alone."
Thomas Hitzlsperger, former Aston Villa midfielder
"There was no conflict between religion and the fact that I wanted to play football. I was brought up correctly and in the right way and my parents are very proud of the fact that I am a professional footballer."
Sadio Mané, Liverpool winger

Ffion Eade, Hampshire FA referee
"I've had loads of negative comments from men, especially growing up. It's just boring and old. Times have changed, and they continue to change. Women play football, and they're good at it, and have been for a number of years.”
Kelly Smith, England Women's record goalscorer
"Despite the progress, stereotypes still exist in football and until that is broken down it will be extremely difficult for a woman to manage a top level men's team."
Rachel Yankey, former Arsenal Ladies forward
"There’s no hiding that there is sexism in sport. We have a lack of women right across all levels of management, playing and coaching. It shows the closed nature of sport in general and this includes the media. It’s an indictment of sport as a whole."
Rimla Akhtar, Kick It Out trustee and Chair of the Muslim Women’s Sports Foundation
“I’m proud to be a supporter of Kick It Out and particularly the work they are doing to combat antisemitism within football.”
Joe Jacobson, Wycombe Wanderers midfielder
"With Kick It Out leading the way football is standing up and fighting against those who preach hatred and intolerance and we at Chelsea are proud to support their work."
Bruce Buck, Chelsea Football Club Chairman
