“The last five years in collaboration with Sportfive has seen the marketing of Bayer 04 develop in new dimensions,” said Bayer Leverkusen managing director Wolfgang Holzhäuser. “Against the backdrop of increasingly demanding challenges, we want to set further goals together in the future. We are firmly convinced that our partnership will continue very positively.”

Philipp Hasenbein, managing director of Sportfive, added: “Bayer 04 Leverkusen has been one of the top clubs in the German Bundesliga for many years and is very professionally run. In addition, our cooperation has been very positive. It is therefore very pleasing that we could extend the agreement well in advance. Together with Bayer 04, we want to continue the marketing successes.”
