"Their involvement is representative of Chelsea's global brand and huge loyal fanbase in Asia."

Candy added: "Football clubs are vitally important community and cultural assets, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give football back to the fans and put them at the heart of the operations and strategy of a leading global football club."
