Borussia Dortmund and SPORTFIVE extend partnership until 2034

Borussia Dortmund and SPORTFIVE are continuing their longstanding and successful partnership: the eight-time German champions and the international sports marketing agency have agreed an early extension of their partnership until 30 June 2034.

Borussia Dortmund and SPORTFIVE have worked closely together on all aspects of commercial marketing since 1999. Under the extended partnership, SPORTFIVE will continue to support BVB in acquiring and managing sponsors and partners, developing new commercial opportunities and marketing hospitality offerings at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. The early extension reflects the highly successful collaboration, which has seen both partners consistently achieve their shared goals. It is built on a strong relationship of mutual trust and also reflects positive business development.

“Our partnership with SPORTFIVE has been defined by trust, reliability and an entrepreneurial mindset for many years. Together, we have continuously developed our commercial activities and unlocked significant growth opportunities. We are therefore delighted to continue this successful journey until 2034. With SPORTFIVE, we have a partner at our side who understands our ambitions and supports us in further developing Borussia Dortmund both nationally and internationally,” says Carsten Cramer, CEO of Borussia Dortmund.

In the years ahead, Borussia Dortmund and SPORTFIVE aim to continue driving the club’s commercial development together. In addition to further developing existing partnerships, the focus will be on opening up new business areas, innovative activation approaches and BVB’s international positioning.

“Borussia Dortmund is one of Europe’s best-known and most distinctive football brands. We are proud to have supported the club for more than a quarter of a century and would like to thank everyone at BVB for their tremendous trust in our work. The early extension until 2034 is a strong endorsement of the quality of our partnership and, at the same time, an incentive to continue pursuing our shared growth trajectory. We look forward to further developing BVB’s commercial activities in the years ahead with fresh ideas and great passion,” explains Hendrik Schiphorst, Managing Director of SPORTFIVE Germany.

The long-term extension provides planning certainty for both partners. Together, Borussia Dortmund and SPORTFIVE aim to further drive the club’s commercial success and develop attractive partnerships that deliver added value for brands and fans.

Levin Vogt, Justin Hoy, and Ahmad Najdi retained their spots. Young pro Kaua Prates made his debut in the UEFA Youth League. Luca Reggiani and Enzo dos Santos, along with U23 players Aaron Held and Fadi Zarqelain, bolstered the young BVB team. <\/p>\n<h2>Match Summary<\/b><\/h2>\nFrom the opening whistle, the match unfolded as a highly entertaining, fast-paced, and intense contest. Borussia immediately took the initiative and celebrated a 1-0 lead after five minutes thanks to Justin Hoy, who calmly finished off a pass from Levin Vogt. The Black and Yellows put pressure on their opponents with high pressing, forcing them into mistakes and coming very close to a second goal. Bjarki Gardarsson fired the ball just wide of the left post (8th minute), and Betis goalkeeper Yan Zhuravskyi saved a shot from the agile Hoy (11th minute). <\/p>\nSevilla\u2019s equalizer, coming less than 60 seconds later, seemed to come out of nowhere. BVB\u2019s defense was sloppy, allowing a cross from Mario Navarro on the left side of the defense and losing sight of Spain\u2019s U19 national team player Ruben De Sa, who slotted the ball into the net to make it 1\u20131. Dortmund\u2019s response came quickly: First, Hoy hit the crossbar with a 16-meter shot, then Bjarki Gardarsson scored the well-deserved 2\u20131 goal off an assist from Hoy. This was preceded by energetic and successful counter-pressing in midfield.  <\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"U19-Jubel-Betis-1793811459503\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/11/04/spielbericht-u19/U19-Jubel-Betis.jpg\"><\/p>\nThe wild ride continued. After an unfortunate collision between Kaua Prates and Fadi Zarqelain, Navarro went down in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick without hesitation. But goalkeeper Aaron Held saved the penalty kick taken by Ricardo Funez (27th minute). Sevilla had the upper hand during this phase, forcing the Borussians onto the defensive and, as a result, equalizing 2\u20132 in the 36th minute through Fran Batan.<\/p>\nThe second half was less eventful. BVB ceded possession and control of the game to the visitors. Despite their apparent superiority, Betis struggled to create chances because the Black and Yellows defended attentively. The best opportunity fell to substitute Kingsley Gonzales, who hit the crossbar after a solo run (72'). In the closing stages, Aaron Held saved the point. Dortmund\u2019s outstanding goalkeeper made brilliant saves against Gonzales (76th minute) and De Sa (85th minute). The Borussians were unable to turn the game in their favor or create any real threats in the second half.<\/p>\n<h2>Post-match comments<\/b><\/h2>\nCoach Felix Hirschnagl:<\/b> \u201cThat was a hard-earned point that we\u2019re happy to take. I really liked a lot of what we did in the first half, but unfortunately we let our advantages slip away too quickly. We could have pulled ahead to 2\u20130 early on.

BVB, still undefeated and leading the standings, hosts VfL Osnabrück (1:00 p.m.). The next opponent in the UEFA Youth League is Arsenal FC (Nov. 24, 2:00 p.m.).<\/p>\nU19:<\/b> Held \u2013 Vogt (88.

Mohamadou), Zarqelain \n(wiwi)<\/i><\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"<h2>Lineup<\/b> \n<\/h2>\nCoach Felix Hirschnagl fielded a starting lineup with eight changes from the 2-1 win against MSV Duisburg. Levin Vogt, Justin Hoy, and Ahmad Najdi retained their spots. Young pro Kaua Prates made his debut in the UEFA Youth League. Luca Reggiani and Enzo dos Santos, along with U23 players Aaron Held and Fadi Zarqelain, bolstered the young BVB team. <\/p>\n<h2>Match Summary<\/b><\/h2>\nFrom the opening whistle, the match unfolded as a highly entertaining, fast-paced, and intense contest. Borussia immediately took the initiative and celebrated a 1-0 lead after five minutes thanks to Justin Hoy, who calmly finished off a pass from Levin Vogt. The Black and Yellows put pressure on their opponents with high pressing, forcing them into mistakes and coming very close to a second goal. Bjarki Gardarsson fired the ball just wide of the left post (8th minute), and Betis goalkeeper Yan Zhuravskyi saved a shot from the agile Hoy (11th minute). <\/p>\nSevilla\u2019s equalizer, coming less than 60 seconds later, seemed to come out of nowhere. BVB\u2019s defense was sloppy, allowing a cross from Mario Navarro on the left side of the defense and losing sight of Spain\u2019s U19 national team player Ruben De Sa, who slotted the ball into the net to make it 1\u20131. Dortmund\u2019s response came quickly: First, Hoy hit the crossbar with a 16-meter shot, then Bjarki Gardarsson scored the well-deserved 2\u20131 goal off an assist from Hoy. This was preceded by energetic and successful counter-pressing in midfield.  <\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"U19-Jubel-Betis-1793811459503\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/11/04/spielbericht-u19/U19-Jubel-Betis.jpg\"><\/p>\nThe wild ride continued. After an unfortunate collision between Kaua Prates and Fadi Zarqelain, Navarro went down in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick without hesitation. But goalkeeper Aaron Held saved the penalty kick taken by Ricardo Funez (27th minute). Sevilla had the upper hand during this phase, forcing the Borussians onto the defensive and, as a result, equalizing 2\u20132 in the 36th minute through Fran Batan.<\/p>\nThe second half was less eventful. BVB ceded possession and control of the game to the visitors. Despite their apparent superiority, Betis struggled to create chances because the Black and Yellows defended attentively. The best opportunity fell to substitute Kingsley Gonzales, who hit the crossbar after a solo run (72'). In the closing stages, Aaron Held saved the point. Dortmund\u2019s outstanding goalkeeper made brilliant saves against Gonzales (76th minute) and De Sa (85th minute). The Borussians were unable to turn the game in their favor or create any real threats in the second half.<\/p>\n<h2>Post-match comments<\/b><\/h2>\nCoach Felix Hirschnagl:<\/b> \u201cThat was a hard-earned point that we\u2019re happy to take. I really liked a lot of what we did in the first half, but unfortunately we let our advantages slip away too quickly. We could have pulled ahead to 2\u20130 early on. In terms of our play, the second half wasn\u2019t quite what we had in mind. We definitely want to step it up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Outlook<\/b><\/h2>\nAction continues Saturday in Group H of the DFB Youth League preliminary round.
