AFC & Questnet™ raise the bar of Asian football

Kuala Lumpur, 18 February 2010: The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) today named international direct selling company, QuestNet as Official Direct Selling Supporter of the AFC Champions League, the region's top club competition.
"It gives me great pleasure to welcome QuestNetTM as a new partner of the AFC Champions League and into the fold of the Asian football family," said AFC President, Mohamed bin Hammam.
"These are exciting times for club football as we continue to raise the level of professionalism within our game here in Asia. With the 2009 season setting records for both attendances and viewers, we are glad to have a partner like QuestNetTM, who will further engage the football fans in this competition."
Bin Hammam's call on the representatives in this year's AFC Champions League to play a more proactive role in helping take Asia's premier club competition forward has become a clarion call for QuestNetTM to also do its bit for football in Asia and bring the game to even greater heights and larger audiences.
As the Official Direct Selling Supporter of the AFC Champions League, QuestNetTM views the sponsorship platform as an opportunity for much more than its own brand exposure. QuestNetTM is actively utilizing the sponsorship to do its part to support football on a regional level, both for the fans and for the football players.
"We are committed in our efforts to support football in the region, so that more youngsters will play the game and broaden the talent pool, helping to propel the region to the forefront of the international arena," said JR Mayer, Managing Director of QNet Ltd, the company behind the QuestNetTM brand. "Much like in our business, to achieve this dream means concentrated effort and dedication from everyone involved.
"We have been associated with the AFC Champions League since late last year, and our role as ‘Official Direct Selling Supporter' will continue until 2012. Our message to football fans and players alike is ‘Dream. Perform. Achieve.' I know that together, we can turn this vision into a reality."
QuestNetTM will be sponsoring several contests and promotional events to delight diehard fans. One of the contests will be the interactive ‘Goal of the Month' voting competition, which has been organized in collaboration with the AFC. Football enthusiasts can vote for what they consider to be the best goal for the month through the AFC's official website www.the-afc.com, with a chance to win fabulous prizes, thanks to QuestNetTM.
Additionally, football fans can expect to look forward to many more contests and promotional events throughout the year, taking their AFC experience to even greater heights.
The 2010 season of the AFC Champions League set to kick-off on 23rd February promises more exciting action from 32 of Asia's top clubs including defending champions Pohang Steelers. All matches will be broadcast on cable, terrestrial and satellite television throughout the region, as well as online via www.the-afc.tv, accessible worldwide.
This four-year agreement with QuestNetTM was sealed by World Sport Group, the AFC's exclusive marketing and media partners.

Can seaweed help solve the world's plastic crisis?

  After you finish your fries, eat the ketchup packet. When you add your pasta to boiling water, toss the bag into the pot, too. If these instructions sound confusing to you, it's only because you haven't yet heard of Notpla, a London-based startup company that is designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packaging. Founded in 2014, the company closed a £10 million ($13.5 million) Series A financing round last month, led by the VC firm Horizons Ventures, to scale and further develop its product line. Notpla's products are meant to be composted or dissolved after use -- though some are edible, too. Current offerings include sachets for condiments, water and even alcohol; a film wrap for products in your pantry or bathroom, like coffee or toilet paper; and takeaway boxes that replace plastic-based coating with seaweed lining to make them fully biodegradable. The Ooho can replace condiment packets and other single-serve liquids, while the seaweed-lined takea...
