BenQ, which was a technology partner of the last tournament in Portugal in 2004 will have global marketing and sponsorship rights in the category which includes mobile phones and digital still cameras.

The bankruptcy forced an early termination of a four-year shirt sponsorship deal between BenQ-Siemens and Spanish football club Real Madrid, worth an estimated US$143 million.
