Wellington Phoenix unsure whether Huawei sponsorship will be renewed ANDREW VOERMANGETTY IMAGES Wellington Phoenix general manager David Dome says he doesn't know if they will be able to renew their sponsorship deal with Huawei. The Wellington Phoenix are operating under the assumption they will be around for "many, many, many years to come," with the A-League set to be independent of Football Federation Australia within months. Huawei has faced a number of challenges internationally, largely around its involvement in building 5G mobile networks, including in New Zealand. We see coming out of this thing that the Wellington Phoenix license will be exactly the same as the other A-League clubs, and however long their licences are for, we will have that same tenure. "We don't see ourselves as any different and the other A-League clubs don't see us as any different as well, so we are certainly working towards that."
