Panasonic pays special tribute to Indian cricket's legends

Panasonic's golden sponsor support for the 'legends' is led by Al-Futtaim Panatech, the exclusive distributor of Panasonic products in the UAE and member of the Al-Futtaim group.

All 14 members of the squad will attend the gala dinner function on Thursday October 23 at the Atlantis Hotel.

More than 1,200 invites are expected to attend.

There will be question-answer sessions and cricketers will share their thoughts, memories and anecdotes about the win which created history in world cricket.

The Legends of Lord's have already been honoured in Bangalore, New Delhi and at The Lord's, London.

Shaun Sullivan, General Manager, Al-Futtaim Panatech, said:

"Al-Futtaim Panatech as exclusive distributor of Panasonic products are proud to be part of the tribute to Indian cricketing legends."

"The victory at Lord's was monumental and unveiled the arrival of a powerful force in one-day international cricket. Similar global sentiments were expressed when, Panasonic unveiled the world's largest 103 inch 1080p HD resolution plasma display - and the newly launched super full high definition 150" plasma - which today is again the largest plasma TV in the world."

Panasonic's association with global sports is legendary.

Panasonic is closely involved in two global sports sponsorship programmes: the Olympic Games and Formula One (as title sponsor of the Panasonic Toyota Racing F1 team).

Panasonic have been an Olympic's global partner sponsor since the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Seoul and Beijing.

Panasonic has been Toyota F1's title sponsor since Toyota entered the FIA Formula One Championships in 2002.

In October last year, the company announced an extension to the title sponsorship through the end of 2009.
