Milo comes in as RLWC sponsor

THE Rugby League World Cup 2017 (RLWC2017) announced their second tournament sponsor with Nestle’s Milo brand as an official partner of the tournament in Papua New Guinea.
Milo has had a long association with rugby league in PNG, where it supports the Lig Bilong Laif programme, which uses rugby league-themed educational and reading materials to encourage healthy lifestyles and promote education.
Milo will activate fan engagement initiatives in official precinct areas during the tournament.
General manager commercial and marketing RLWC2017 Rohan Sawyer said: “It is great to see Milo’s continued support of rugby league in Papua New Guinea through this partnership with the Rugby League World Cup 2017.
“Milo is a great supporter of rugby league in PNG through the Lig Bilong Laif programme and it’s wonderful to see their involvement extend to the international stage.”
In the lead-up to RLWC2017, Milo will use their national retail network in PNG to give the public the chance to win one of 30 VIP packages for two including flights, accommodation and tickets to one of the three games to be played at Oil Search National Football Stadium.
Rugby league is the national sport of PNG and the country was announced as a “hosting partner” of RLWC2017, alongside co-hosts Australia and New Zealand, in 2015.
PNG fixtures: PNG v Wales (Oct 28, 3pm), PNG v Ireland (Nov 5, 4pm), PNG v USA (Nov 12, 3pm).
