More Chinese companies 'to partner with FIFA'

Besides Wanda, two more Chinese companies will sign up as FIFA partners this year, Wang Jianlin, chairman of property giant Wanda Group, said on Monday.

"As far as I know, if everything goes smoothly, another two Chinese companies will become FIFA's top-level sponsors this year," Wang said at a news conference, without disclosing details.

Wanda Group has signed a sponsorship contract with FIFA, according to a statement by the world soccer governing body on Friday.
