Festival Sponsors

VISF is currently seeking major sponsorship aligned with the messages of sports, cultural harmony, global peace, and involvement in social change through soccer.

We are seeking:

Funding partners
Venue partnership
Media sponsors

VISF provides exposure by association opportunities, such as inclusion in press releases, event website, and exposure at the festival site and at VISF food and beer gardens.

We are also seeking funding partners for the making and distribution of a documentary about VISF 2012. VISF will be documenting the journey of a group of footballers from a global conflict zone to play in VISF 2012. We look forward to speaking with those who share these goals.
