Earlier on this year, Orange renewed their sponsorship for the senior national team with a new P16.6 million package for the next three years.

According to BancABC sources, the deal is for three years with P2, 1 million every season. "Negotiations have been going on for quite some time, in fact, David Fani (former BFA president) and his executive initiated the deal and should be concluded within the next two weeks. It's a three-year deal," said the source.Orange remain the lead sponsor of the Zebras despite ceding 50 percent of the marketing and branding rights of the team to other non-telecommunications brands willing to sign up with the BFA as co-sponsors.
