“QPR has become one of the most exciting teams in the premiers league. We'd like to be part of this moment where a Malaysian owned team could show true potential and compete with the big boys. Just like QPR, we at Tune Talk also have aspirations to be the best and in that sense we hope to align ourselves with this growing brand in Asia and build the community with a host of platforms that will bring the club closer to new fans in this region.”

Tune Talk is looking at a 3-year collaboration with QPR, which would give ample time to sufficiently develop local interest in QPR. Plans are already underway to form a QPR Malaysia Official Supporters Club.

“This is an exciting partnership. Malaysians are football mad and QPR is Malaysian-owned. The potential for cross-selling across customers is massive as are the benefits for QPR die-hard fans. We really scored with this collaboration.” said Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, Chairman of QPR Holdings Ltd

This news is timely as QPR has just recently played Sabah and Kelantan for their pre-season World Asia Tour 2012. They will be playing against Indonesian club, Persebaya Surabaya in Surabaya on 23 July 2012.

“At the end of the tour, we will return to England with a fitter squad and I also hope we will have gained new fans during our time both in Malaysia and Indonesia,” said Mark Hughes, QPR Manager, earlier in the tour.

Looks like Mark Hughes will get his wish granted with the Tune Talk and QPR collaboration.
