Manchester City have announced Wake-Up 247 as the club’s newest official energy drink partner in Vietnam to further establish a foothold in Asia.
The Premier League champions boast a sensational following in the world’s largest continent and their fame in Uzbekistan has only risen since the signing of defender Abdukodir Khusanov in January.
Khusanov’s arrival from RC Lens for a reported fee north of £33 million has witnessed a surge in fans from Uzbekistan purchasing tickets to watch the 21-year-old feature for the four-in-a-row Premier League champions.
Being the first player from Uzbekistan to play in the English top-flight, Khusanov has already made a huge impact on Asian football after quickly cementing himself as one of the first names on Pep Guardiola’s teamsheet amidst an injury crisis in defence.
