Yanmar Announces Official Sponsorship of Cambodia National Football Team

OSAKA, Japan, Nov. 4, 2015 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ --

Yanmar Co., Ltd. announced official sponsorship of the national football team 
of Cambodia in a press conference held in Phnom Penh on November 4. 

Major General Khiev Sameth, Vice President of the Football Federation of 
Cambodia (FFC), declared: "Since its inception in 1933, the Football Federation 
of Cambodia has been doing its part to foster the growth and development of 
football in the country. Upon the current trend, football has become the most 
popular sport in every corner and walk of life in Cambodia. As such, the effort 
to make sure football development and popularity are sustainable has never been 
more important than now."

"The Football Federation of Cambodia is honored to welcome on board a 
multi-national company, Yanmar, as a sponsor of the Cambodia National Team from 
the 2015-2016 season. Through close cooperation, FFC will work with Yanmar to 
bring the national team to greater heights in being the pride of the nation. 
Thanks to Yanmar for supporting our national team and contributing to the 
development of Cambodia through football."

Since the formation of its very own football team in 1957, Yanmar has made 
constant efforts towards the promotion of football. A Partner Company of 
Japan-based Cerezo Osaka which has produced such talented players as 
world-famous Shinji Kagawa, Yanmar is also an Official Global Partner for 
Manchester United, top club of the English Premier League and one of the most 
widely supported football teams in the world. 

With a view to expanding its business in Southeast Asia, Yanmar is working to 
raise brand awareness in the region through sports communication and enhance 
the livelihood of the local people through the passion and spirit of challenge 
that football inspires. Its ties here also include sponsorship of the AFC 
Champions League, Asia's leading club tournament, as well as national teams and 
individual clubs. In its new capacity as an Official Sponsor, Yanmar will 
support the national team of Cambodia from the 2015-2016 season, actively 
contributing to the development of the team and the promotion of football in 
the region. 

Cambodia has a predominantly agrarian economy, with more than three-thirds of 
the work force involved in the sector. The past decade has seen significant 
mechanization in agriculture, with rapid growth expected for the future. These 
prospects make Cambodia a country of particular interest for Yanmar and a 
promising market for the various agricultural machinery the company 
manufactures. 

Ken Araki, Executive Officer of Yanmar, explained: "During its over 100 
year-history, Yanmar has continued to provide the world markets with 
high-quality products and services. This sponsorship is a great opportunity for 
us to contribute to the further growth of the team, while also substantially 
support the mechanization of the local agricultural sector and improve the 
livelihood of the people of Cambodia."

The national flag of Cambodia (Khmer: ទង់ជាតិ កម្ពុជា Tung-Cheat, "National flag") in its present form was originally adopted in 1948 and readopted in 1993, after elections restored the monarchy.

Since around 1850, the Cambodian flag has featured a depiction of Angkor Wat in the centre. The current flag, with a blue border and red central (the stripes are in the ratio 1:2:1) was adopted following Cambodia's independence in 1948. It was used until 9 October 1970, when a new flag was introduced for Lon Nol's Khmer Republic that lasted until the takeover of the Khmer Rouge in 1975. The subsequent state of Democratic Kampuchea, which existed from 1975 to 1979, used a red flag with a three-towered Angkor Wat design retained in yellow. The People's Republic of Kampuchea was established in 1979, after the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia.

The Kampuchean National United Front for National Salvation (FUNSK) revived the flag adopted by the Khmer Issarak in the days of anti-French resistance for the new state. This flag had the same colour pattern as the DK flag, but with a yellow five-towered Angkor Wat silhouette. When the PRK renamed itself as "State of Cambodia" (SOC) in 1989, the flag's lower half became blue. The UNTACflag was used during the 1992–1993 transitional period along with the flag of the SOC within Cambodia.

In 1993, the 1948 Cambodian flag was readopted. The current Cambodian flag, together with the flag of Afghanistan, hold the distinction of being the only two state flags to feature a building. Red and blue are traditional colours of Cambodia.

The flag used today is the same as that established in 1948, although the older flag is sometimes said to have used a red outline for Angkor Wat while the current flag uses black specifically. Since that time, five other intervening designs have been used. Almost all made use of the image of the temple of Angkor Wat in one form or another. This famous temple site, which dates from the 12th century, was built by the Mahidharapura monarchs. It has five towers, but these were not always all depicted in the stylised version used on flags. The monarchy was restored in September 1993, the 1948 flag having been readopted in June of that year.
